heheh, if astro is something you want to dabble in sometime in the future. future proof your purchase. theres a guy who just brought the perfect setup for about the price you had maybe a little either side, Zumka is his name and i think he has now gone ahead with a SW600 and EQ6Pro.
The mount (EQ6 pro) has everything needed within it to hook a laptop, guide scope and everything ready for astrophotography, but can also be controlled by the computer with planetarium software. the other good thing is you can load the mount up well with its 20+kg load rating (how much gear you can stack ontop of it while it still retains accuracy). Ahh sooo many options just remember the best scope is the one that you will A. enjoy, B. use the most.!
