Welcome from me too. If you are looking to take some sweet pictures,
then the 4SE and all it's stablemates are not for you. They have
altazimuth mounts which suffer from a thing called field rotation, which
limits their suitability for imaging. Your best compromise scope/ mount
setup would be a used Skywatcher 8" Newt on a SW HEQ5 Pro Goto
mount. They come up at around $1000 to $1200 quite often.
Be aware that equatorial mounts such as the HEQ5 are not as easy to
use as altazimuth ones are, but their bark is actually worse than their bite.
