Re: A Case for GOTO

I've had my CPC for about 6 months now, computer object location has really increased my enjoyment level in this hobby.
5 frustrating years under heavy UK light pollution without COL and its like I've had a new world opened up to me. I have limited observing time, partly due to early starts at work and partly due to the UK weather. I can see so much more now in my precious observing sessions and group observing with friends is now a joy.
I agree that GOTO isn't ideal for people completely new to astronomy. You hear about people struggling to set up their shiny computerised scope in the dark and giving up in frustration way too often.
