What sort of Astro can I do with this setup. Also why isn't Polar Aligning Obsolete?

So... does Goto follow the sky? Can I use this for astro:

Or this

(oops sorry to post links of ur competition! )

Both are very tempting for me indeed! I do NOT want to wait TWO YEARS for an OBSESSION?! Would rather just buy a 16" skywatcher or equivalent and it's at my door in a week and I roll that out the back garage. That's what I call service!

Or if it can't literally take it all in one snapshot (u don't want to do that from polluted skies anyway)......

... How about you can just take lots of snapshots and I registax them together? Thanks.

Hey try not to be too much of a smarty when you reply this time, please guys! I don't own any of this equipment and wasn't born with this knowledge guys. I know you're all clever and everything so all respect to you! Hey, that's why I'm asking YOU and not anyone else! :sadeye s::sadey es: Should I post in the beginners forum? Um no i'm no beginner. No way! Just an old-school bloke who has been observing since the early 90s when Melbourne actually had a dark sky at 4am!! I'm a bit confused... Synscan... Argo Navis. Surely ALL this high tech stuff can follow the sky and we don't need these polar alignment any more! Tell me why people are still polar aligning! I dont' get this! I mean who still uses film? God I love these emotes! Help can't stop writing!
