I have mixed emotions about it. Astrophotography is a hobby of mine and I'm sorta torn... I love seeing the images accessable for everyone,but at the same time, I wonder if that encourages or discourages someone from picking up a telescope.
Anyone who's ever looked through a telescope or tried to understand the process knows how difficult and rewarding it can be. I just worry someone with an intrest in astronomy will be discouraged by their first look through a real telescope expecting to see what "Hubble+Chandra" images look like... It's the process of learning and understanding that opens your eyes to the universe.. then you can apperciate the pretty pictures..
