Hi Eric, thanks for the pleasure your article gave me. It does seem though that, as you might have expected, you've disturbed a hornet's nest or should that be, opened a whole can of worms! No matter, polarisation is heathy, dogmas are not !
For what my two cents "chip in" might be worth, I fully support GOTO which, speaking from my own experience having persevered with an 8" EQ mounted Newt for a few years, brought me a completely new outlook on amateur astronomy when I traded in the Newt for my N8i.
If one's contending with even mild light pollution, slightly off polar alignment by way of the having to transport the 'scope outside on every available viewing occasion and the consequential inaccuracy of the setting circles, you can appreciate my, by then, waning enthusiasm.
GOTO gave that enthusiasm back to me many times over and continues to provide it.
Best regards,
Tel
