I know the Orion GoTo dobs can be moved manually if you wish without messing up the GoTo orientation. Are the SkyWatcher scopes likewise equipped?
An alternative to a Goto might be something like the Orion Intelliscope. I have my eye on the XX14i because I can reach the eyepiece without a stool even at zenith.
You punch in M42 and the screen tells you where to point the scope. Not motors and no tracking. Or you can put in RA/Dec and it will tell you where to point. Or you move it manually and hit Info and it will tell you what you are looking at.

I don't know how available these are where you live or if Skywatcher has something similar. I have the XT8i Intelliscope. I use it manually about 50% of the time. I certainly don't use it for planets. But when I am hunting DSO I tend to use it a lot.
