Yeah well I ran out of characters to list the caveats! BTW I have a Seestar AND an Origin along with two "traditional" scopes.
Ok. So if a Seestar is cheating then so, technically, is using a go to EQ mount. After all you are having a computer do the work a human had to in setting up, aligning the mount and using a clock drive. Convenience is either cheating or a tool but I do agree about eyes being better than a camera.

Brilliant, and thank you for a very comprehensive reply. I'll take a look at those camera and decide what I'll shock Santa with when it goes on my Christmas list!
Can I attach the camera to my Televue Powermates? Should I invest in a focuser? Filter wheel? When money permits (or someone nice donates) I would like in future to get a WO Refractor (like a Flourostar) will that require anything different? And finally, current best stacking/processing software?
Advice on a suitable camera- not too expensive as I spent all my money on scopes! What else is needed? I want to do planetary and Deepsky to compliment the Origin. Colour or monochrome (stacking filtered images to do "colour" I guess, or is that not good)?
Questions for the 🔭#astrophotography gurus. Having only used a camera on my Lunt which was noddy, I am unfamiliar with the tech. I just got my new Orion Optics MKC-140 and mounted on a ZWO AM3 mount with an ASIAIR+ & guide scope. But need guidance for suitable camera kit (a thread):
First Light on my Celestron Origin last night. Bit cloudy and the light pollution sucks (waiting for the filter to arrive) but here is good old M31 (Andromeda) and the Eastern Veil Nebula. 🔭 #astrophotography
