I intend to get a telescope — an 8 incher maybe this one from Celestron:

One of my rules will be that viewing will be done only by the human eye. No cameras, no digital anything. It will be only for viewing directly the light coming whatever it’s pointed at.
Yes it has digital aiming machinery. That’s ok.
Good luck in that endeavor. Lots of fun doing that. I did it for years until I took attached a camera to the scope, then I was hooked. I have old school stuff so its a real challenge to get everything right. Sometimes it’s fun, sometimes not.☺
Personally I have not used an eyepiece in years, not because it’s less amazing, or not as good, but because the camera can see so much more and I get to look at the images later. Plus it allows me to compare them to other images of the same object taken months/years earlier. I do this looking for any changes of the targeted object. Of course then it requires learning how to process raw images to squeeze all the data out. That’s a real challenge for me.
Btw, Celestron makes some great scopes. Good luck.
