What is the "best" forum for...

...talking about the new all-in-one EAA scopes or robotic scopes, such as the Stellina, Vespera, eVScope, and eQuinox?
I purchased a Stellina back in March of this year and I've now done more "observing" in the past 6 months as I might have done in two good years in a row.
Is this type of scope, or the type of observing that is called Electronically Assisted Astronomy (EAA ), welcome here on this forum? I see that it is marginalized on the Cloudy Nights forums, but some topics are running in their EAA forum for those who simply capture an image and do no post-processing, and also in their Image Processing forums, for those who are doing post-processing of images gathered by these scopes.
I ask about these scopes being welcome here, because over the past 18 months these scopes were met with much derision and malignment over on CN. After that died down (or was moderated down) things seem to have remained calm, but, as I said, there is a small group of folks using them, and they seem to be marginalized.
Thanks for listening! Hopefully, we can have a forum here onTSS that can welcome these new-fangled scopes and "observations".
