You will see plenty with that scope Daman. Planets, clusters, nebula maybe even a galaxy or 3. The only real problem with your scope is that to get the focal length it has Meade (and others) put a built in barlow in the focuser. Now this "barlow" is achromatic which will give you colour fringing you wouldn't normally get with a reflector. Apart from that I don't know much about the 2130 except what is written in the meade catalogue. As far as the goto is concerned if you follow the setting up instructions the meade goto seem to be pretty good. They certainly are in the LX series. How that compares to the DS series I don't know. Here's a bit of info I found You can find the whole document here http://www.meade.com/catalog/catalog...NG&DS_2000.pdf

but its a big document mb wise (over 10 meg)
