Yeah I can totally understand that.

Digital has really changed things in the last 20 years - amazing what people can do now.

I know I will also get frustrated having to set up each time; I suspect the only way you can avoid that is by having a mount permanently fixed i.e. your own little observatory. Now that would be nice!
