I want it for stargazing, moon, etc.

I understand the benefit of computerised, so am keen on that.

My research has pointed me to the celestron nexstar 6se, but i am curious on comparisons with scopes like the orion skyquest xt8i intelliscope or skywatcher 8" goto collapsible.

are they all easy to use? am i on the right track?

also, even with postage they seem so much cheaper from the usa...with the celestron and orion both being about $1000 aussi posted?

Any advice appreciated

Thanks
Importing from the US is often problematic, especially with Celestron as the US dealer are not allowed to sell outside the US. And it would void any warranty if they did.
Don't get the peeps here started on the local Celestron distributor BTW!!
