Thanks very much for the replies here. It's certainly food for thought.
The motor adds a significantly large amount to the price that I could be spending on a better scope. In the beginning I want to keep it below $900 as I am not to convinced I will head out of town to avoid the light pollution.
I like the views with the 90mm refractor I have but I have difficulty really seeing much more than a large dot in most cases. I did see Saturn and was amazed, it really was indescribable. However jupiter was just a muddy ball but I could see the 4 moons as specs of light around it. I would like to see more detail so I am not sure if it's aperature I need or perhaps better quality optics?
