And I was merely pointing out that the guy in the sky seen more than you did. He may not have been able to smell the flowers, but believe me, he seen more. Technology, whether one likes it or not, allows a person to get more done. More bang for his buck so-to-speak. How many professional observatories do you suppose there are, who have elected not to adopt the latest, greatest technology available so they can produce more results and view more things? Not to mention needing this technology to track and image. Here's one to consider: There are two dairy farmers with the exact same number of cows to milk. One, because he likes the 'hands on' approach, rejects technology and milks the old hefers the old fashioned way. The second, a little older and more wiser farmer ;) can find his way around an udder or three, and knows how to manually milk a cow, decides that by employing modern technology, he will produce more milk over a given period of time, freeing up more time to do other cool things. By the end of the day, who do you think accomplished the most? Who's hands stink the least? Who's gonna have more time to do the other fun things life offers? Oh sure the power could fail and the batteries could die, but the wise second farmer, because he bought a high tech telescope, er, I mean milking machine, with setting circles, will still be able to squeeze milk from the milky way! ;)
