Ah, cool, well in that case I will just see if Skywatcher sells one I can just swap on. I am not terribly good with large tools.

My curse is no math but a keen interst in science... it means one is working from a very difficult position, as you appreciate.
It is similar to my color blindness and taking a good astro photo.
That is why I appreciate you and others so much for helping me.

Its not a curse, its a gift :-) And my pleasure.

I want to be expert in areas such as General Relativity and of course that will never be possible without the math... but that is my lot.

In this case its not that important. GR is intutive enough with rubber sheet examples if you can understand the concepts you would appreciate it just as well. I strong recommend a brief history of time, and also the universe in a nutshell, or just universe in a nutshell. Both books presents rather modern cosmological and physics theories in rather math-free terms that any one can enjoy. There is something to be said for popular science
