Very nice presentation! The problem I have with visual astronomy is that light pollution has become so bad and it just keeps increasing 😞 I used to be able to see the core of the milky way when it was near zenith just 3 years ago (I live in the southern hemisphere). Not anymore, now i just see the brightest stars and that's about it. I have a a 12 inch skywatcher dob which I originally got for visual astronomy but now I use it for EAA (it's a goto dob). Without the camera very few objects are visible now. But happily the planets looks the same so atleast we have that 🙂
