How retarded it is?
You mean the mount, not the telescope. My Astro-Physics mount, which
carries two research-grade refractors, a research-grade CCD camera and
a guide telescope with a combined weight of about 41 kg, is
controllable from my iOS devices. Some "toy!" A precision,
research-grade telescope mount controlled by a device that fits in a
shirt pocket. How "retarded" is that? Report back after you have done
it yourself. Until then you know nothing.
Possibly the reason that he thinks that users of such devices are "retarded" is that it is perfectly possible to simply use printed star charts to learn the sky and find one's way around it.
