Like Rick said, Those are some good reasons.

I'm hoping to "grow in to it". I'm looking at some video imaging equipment and think my light poluted location may just hold some real joy for me this coming winter. I have tried AP and digital imaging several times in the past and just never quite got the bug. When I was at RTMC we watched Tom Ospaski work his magic with a Mallincam and I was impressed. I can invision the dome doing it's thing and me inside warm with a hot cup of coffee.

It's just a whole different observing experience than being out in the desert with a long focus refractor.
