As for telescopes:
Nowadays you're more likely to see a buggy whip or a medicinal
leech than you are to see an astronomer looking through the
eyepiece of a telescope. For professionals, and even for serious
amateurs, it's all CCDs.
As a side benefit, a whole class can look at the CCD image
at once (rather than taking turns at the eyepiece).
