Once you start to get serious, a lot of it is almost automated. You connect a video camera to your telescope, set the telescope to track whatever you’re trying to image, and batch process the frames into a final image. There’s still lots to do, but the boring parts are not too bad.
I find the setting up and tweaking interesting too though, so I might be biased :D
It depends on what you like, and how you do it.
