I am not keen on qn EQ mount for terrestrial; the scope can get in to many funky positions.
I have had a quick look thru that skywatcher & was not that impressed, I think you would need another tripod.
The andrews mak/cass scope for $99 is the same one selling at Aust Geogrpahic stores, it has a long focal length - have a look thru it if possible, it is 70mm, very compact & sits on any photo tripod
I would still go with the long perng 60mm, that would be my personal preference (but these things vary from one person to another)
The motor is usually used to keep an object in the field of view- eg a star I think it would be a hinderence for daytime viewing, as it goes the speed the stars track across the sky. Mostly motors are for taking pics of stars,
