Well yes, for those of you using Scopes as data collection devices or photography, a goto would be the thing to use, but I don't think the bulk of the consumer market is really intented for professionals, Goto systems under 2000$ are really more for the hobbyist, amateur, enthousiast.
As most astrophotographers end up buying a mount more expensive then their scopes. and most research scientists have acces to a proper telescope in a real observatory.
I personally just don't want software to mingle with every stage of my life, everything has to go quicker and have a computer do it for you, so you don't loose time, but there seems to be less time to enjoy things.
Analogy to recordingstudios: in the old days you were mixing behind your gear, the mixingtable, outboardeffects, tape. Nowadays you spend most of your time behind a computer screen & then you go home... great innit?
where the other way is more timeconsuming, i've actually been busy that day, living & experiencing something, doin something, body motion, turning levers, knobs & faders... vs. staring at a screen and clicking the mouse button... hmm
yes sorry this is another discussion, but it's along the line. doin it yourself vs. letting a computer do it for you.
