Indeed living in Light polluted areas, a go-to can be fun, but i'm with Newonblock here, it's very rewarding to find stuff yourself. And it never fails your really, I've had Go-to owners standing just a few feet away, swearing at their machines and the software, while I was starhopping away, It's nice a map, a scope and the skies.
They don't drop boyscouts in the woods with a GPS now do they? that would talk away a lot of the fun (of getting lost :-)
When I decided to buy a scope, wich is a year ago now, I went out looking for something solid, with no bells & whistles compared to modern day scopes, I was tempted by go-to for a bit, but i'm very happy I did not go for it.
However I'm not saying I will never own a go-to in my life.
it's a very handy device.
but it's not how I wanted to discover the skies.
