I feel like I've let the side down :-(

Honestly guys, it was only once. I had had a few drinks and she tempted me. I'm still the same person - can you forgive me?

[ollypenrice]

Visual only. I never eat, drink, fondle or listen to my images. I only look at them.

I am visual only because I love  just looking at the heavens and I'm too *&%$#! old to learn a whole new science.

[reddoss]

Imaging for me.

[Linda]

I am only visual observer.

 

My husband has started to try astrofotografy, as he is a hobby fotografer. We have tried to do it together with a telescope, but the results are not so good. So usually he uses just his photo equipment (fisheye or 400m tele).

[fatwoul]

Imaging only.

[Hobbes]

99% visual. I have occasionally dabbled in the dark art of AP but my heart isn't in it.

[Davesellars]

Both.  I really enjoy visual observing more and have a permanent setup for imaging although restricted view means I can be imaging in about 2 minutes.  Visual observing means much more time needed to get out to my dark site and set up which was far from in abundance last year.  Hoping to get back in to it soon though (with a bit of luck those clouds will co-operate and go somewhere else...)

[Ally8446]

Purely visual and love it ?

[carastro]

These days imaging primarily but do look through others people's scopes at Astro camps while the imaging is chugging away.

[Macavity]

Video Astronomer... And almost exclusively. But in recent "less austere" times, I have been
assembling a modest DUAL Visual Setup on a Sky Tee. Sadly, hardly "Grab and Go", but...

I don't feel "enslaved" to either. But I do often wish I was able to enjoy a better climate! 

[Paul73]

So which is it Chris? Is EA Visual or Imaging?

Paul

[triton1]

Another visual only here hard enough as it is with visual let alone setting up a imaging rig before the clouds roll in oh and the empty wallet.

[L8-Nite]

Visual only. 

I enjoy observing with simple, premium, old school equipment; it has never caused me any grief.

MkII eyeball and range of binocs for me

Exactly!  Visual only.
