The post just reads as a product placement.
Of course, some technique is required to setup one’s gear but that’s part of the experience and allows one to do things this kind of automated telescopes can’t.
Also, if the goal is to look at pretty renders - you can do that online, no telescope required.

Which things? I was never able to get good photos of faint object with my manual telescope. With EV scopes it's easy. And you really can't do much more than planetary astronomy with your Mk1 eyeballs.
- isodev 2y agoSure, it just depends why you go out there. I'm not saying never get an EV. But also - I don't mind levelling myself, looking for an object... and then spotting something fun only to discover it's something else. My Mk1 eyes are just fine for my Mk1 humanly needs.
