It isn't. For now mostly wide field to get the skills built up. But in time I would like to go through the M 110 and 400.

I looked into the Skywatcher Adventurer and it appeals to me. However my reality is that I like to be involved. To set things up and go in for a cup of tea doesn't appeal to me all that much. I will be happier with a good quality manual mount. I'm not saying that everybody should do it my way.

As for picking up a rig second hand in Australia.... I can get a new one shipped from America to the Philippines at a similar price
