That looks like a good scope Paul. Doesn't look like it comes with the SynScan controller, but no doubt that could be added on later if you so desire. Certainly that mount would remove the pain of continuously nudging your scope to follow objects (especially at high powers). If I wasn't on the lookout for a new guidescope and camera I'd be taking a closer look at that one too
10" is certainly ample aperture to get you going.
