A little related, but I recently used a friends digital telescope (you look into an eyepiece, but you're looking at an LED screen of the captured image, not light directly from the lenses). And, for whatever reason, it felt far less magical than actually letting the photons from Jupiter hit my eye(yes, I know they are absorbed and retransmitted at various points, but you know what I mean).
- dylan604 2y agoThis is pretty much how I feel about electronic view finders on modern digital cameras. I love my xSLR type cameras where I'm seeing the photons directly from the lens and not some digital version of them. I was not even aware of the telescope system that you mentioned actually being a thing, and I'm holding back my involuntarily gag reflex that kicked in just from the description.
