Don't even go there Hermas. As Darryl has said, if they are advertising the magnification then it will be a disappointment. You will be regretting the decision. Sure you could get it up to 540X, hell you could get it up to 5400X if you really wanted to. And you would see about as much. Nothing. The maximum usable magnification on that thing is around 120X on a good night.
If that is the sort of scope you are looking for (computerised goto) then the smallest I would even consider is the Meade ETX-125, but even then an LX90 200mm would be much better. Don't expect to do any imaging on them though unless you put them on a wedge.
If you want to image get a good size equatorial mount (mototized), absolute bare back minimum EQ5, preferably HEQ5 or bigger.
Sorry to say this but unless you are prepared to go for an 8" Dobsonian (which would be a great scope at a reasonable price) then good quality fork or EQ mounted telescopes don't come cheap.
