Hi Spaceace..........Good to see another Central Coast Local.
If you bring the scope to Mangrove mountain next weekend ( weather permitting ) I am sure there will be some help on hand to help set your new scope up so you can start enjoying it ASAP.
By the way, the scope you have chosen, I think makes a great portable scope for easy set-up and easy tranportation. A great choice indeed.
It makes good sense to get a first scope that will get you out under the stars as often as possible.
I should be able to check the power requirement for you as well, to see if you can run it from a power tank type battery supply..
Cheers
Geoffro.
