Thankyou so much gentleman for such quick and detailed replies, so awesome feel supported
Thanks Raymo for the info on the imaging, so what would be better out of these two scopes then for my needs of viewing, lunar, planetary, (deeper stuff that i know will be hard to see with these scopes) and some basic photography

From my understanding the mounts are both altax goto, however the celestron is totally motorised and the skywatcher can be used manually
The selling point of the celestron is it has a wedge on the mount for astrophotography? however I have seen photos taken with the skywatcher that look ok, is the wedge necessary, i will not be taking photos for national geographic
On the mak, i have read that they take time to cool down or acclimatise? does this mean it takes an hour or so before viewing?
One last question please, I have seen on other beginner forums refractor lenses being suggested to the first time beginner such as myself, and research shows they are built for astrophotography
Am i better going down this path for visibility and then getting further into the hobby?
I cannot see any refractors with goto systems
Thanks again, i want to pull the trigger on the scope but parting with the deniros I want to be sure i get the closest to what i want
I really appreciate your time and valued opinions
Cheers Gino
