Yes, nothing like enough time given to amateur AP.
They could have started with a smartphone, then put it on a tracker, possibly also bringing in a DSLR and std lens on a tracker. This would have been the point to introduce the idea of multiple subs and stacking, while still keeping it simple.
Then move on to the cooled CMOS cameras starting with OSC, and mention (But don't elaborate) mono and LRGB or NB imaging, perhaps with examples of HST palette images, plus how and why they are made.
A dire warning should also be given that AP can be a) addictive, and b) a money pit. You start out with a smartphone on a tracker, and before you know what's happening you're drooling over big triplet apos, and mainlining Astrodon filters .
