I dunno. I think if your only objective is stunning photos, you're better off just visting an observatory and adapting your camera, or hell, just AI generating them.
The actual hobby of astro, be it photography or just observation, is more than the sum of its parts just like any real hobby is.
I don't go hiking purely for the view at the summit, etc.
I cooked pic rel a bit in post, but getting out of the city and going somewhere dark is fun.
