Dont get the Celestron Cgem mount...I would say get the Skywatcher NEQ6 as they have so much online support in the way of forums and software and even mechanical upgrades...With this mount you can go along way. Also start with a short focal length. I have an 8" meade sct and at f/10 i can be hard sometimes as a beginner...trust me on that as I'm stuggling...my advice is start small and see if AP is what you want to do...otherwise you will invest alot of money and have gear sitting around doing nothing.(I'm approaching the $7000 mark and still need to spend more to get where I want to be.)
