with the change you could invest in Sky Safari pro app and a WiFi module and control your scope with you tab or phone.
it's an excellent way to learn what everything is and the scope will slew to the target automatically.
With this app you can also learn about and look at photos of each target.
I hope this helps.
PS you can image with your camera Piggyback on these mounts and get some great results.
Good luck and clear sky's.

I like Willow's advise on the 6 inch and for $649 that cant be beat for a very good scope at an un-beatable price , very , very good these 6 inchers are with a world wide following as a great performer .
Again my 5c  , good luck with what ever you choose and please keep us informed as to your choice .

Thank you very much for the advise guys. The 6" SLT does seem pretty good value for money! But i am having some difficulty locating it on Binostore. May i ask which one is it? Thanks!
