The other problem is where Trung is. Melbourne metro. Light pollution and being able to see the necessary stars for alignment of an EQ.

Here is an older version of the 4SE.
This one is intriguing to me.
Going by the photos, it looks as if the mount can work as a tabletop or tripod.

Goto 8" dob good price.
This one is in Brisbane, so the freight costs to Melbourne where Trung is would not be nice.
Buying online from a local Brisbane astronomy shop, Trung could buy the same telescope new for $1431 which includes the shipping to Victoria.
