Why does nobody talk about learning astrophotography before auto-guiders were a thing?

Isn't it wild how every time tech makes something easier, we totally forget how hard it used to be? It happens with everything now, like remembering phone numbers or reading a paper map. Back then you had to actually know how to star hop and manually guide for like an hour, it was a whole skill that just got erased lol. Feels like we lose the shared struggle that used to connect people in a hobby.

But do you think maybe that lost struggle also kept the hobby smaller because fewer people could get past the hard parts? Like did we trade deeper bonds for way more people being able to join in?
