I am reasonably comfortable with the southern skies major features (naked eye visible) as I have been touring the skies with binoculars for a while now. I am more interested in the tracking ability of go to to lock on to a subject so that I don't have to keep bumping it all the time. I'd like to have a crack at basic moon photography also. So it seems like a good fit for me & I can push it around manually too.
