Re: [Utah-astronomy] Celestron NexGuide

I think about great observers of my grandfather's day, like Humason and Hubble, who spent entire nights peering at a guidestar through cross-hairs, sometimes for many consecutive nights. An old tube-type AM radio was probably playing softly somewhere near the night assistant's control console as the astronomer kept his concentration, hour after hour, fingers on buttons to control the slow-motion motors...sometimes hands on feedwheels of gear trains. I am so spoiled.
