Thanks Martin, awesome info.

This might be an obvious question, but would I need to buy any sort of
attachment to attach the current telescope I have, to an EQ6-R?

I've ordered a T-ring to attach to the EOS 600D, and I am hoping that might be all I need to mount the camera to the Skywatcher scope, after I saw this video on Youtube (from 3:38 into the video).

With the EQ6-R, I would need to move it outside for each use. And I would like to transport it in the car when I go to the in-laws house (they are out of town, so there are many more stars visible where they are). Is it quite portable?
How long would it take to set it up after transport?
And how long would it take me to polar align it each time I use it, so that the alignment is accurate enough for deep space astrophotographs?

Thanks again
