Fahim, seeing as I am going to be spending a fair bit of money on a mount (well, it is a lot to me) I want to spoil myself with GoTo.
The mount I buy will be with me for many years.
22 years of chasing stuff is long enough and I'm getting lazier by the year.
Plus, being spoilt with my dark skies, it would be nice to get to those VERY faint distant Galaxies that have eluded me so far. I have out-grown the hunt for objects that can barely be seen by eye. Time to get with 'the times' and let a computer do the finding for me.
If I am to buy a GoTo, I'd rather get one that is 'Factory Fitted'. I have had enough of building, patching, repairing, modifying and generally 'making do with added bits and pieces'. At least if it plays up I know I will have a warranty to fall back on.
