you sound like a celeston fan, so i thought i tell you about thier advanced goto series (CG-5) mount. I have a 11 inch SCt on my, but you can get smaller OTA. The mount is fully goto on a EQ platform and easy to use with good accuatacy (once you select good alignmnet stars) and it breaks down into a managage parts for carry around. The C11 has good optics for observing DSo and planets. Don;t worry about the F10, just get wide angle eyepieces or focal reducer. other may wnat to coment on thier 4 inch range, but i'd say get at least the CG5 & C6 (6 inch) (cheaper than fork mount type). best of luck with decision.
