Thanks Mike, Greg and Brendan,
Greg, I think the RC's are a bit out of the price range for now. I don't know if I can pass up the value for money $1,349 8" newt on the HEQ5, looks like it fits the bill nicely.
I may pick one of these up shortly, if its good value for AP as well as provides me some nice, convenient goto visual performance, then perhaps the other scopes may become redundant and then fund any more bits and pieces later on. In the meantime the idea of firing up a goto scope is quite exciting (but may bring a new raft of clouds and rain for Sydneysiders
)
Sorry about that in advance.
I really appreciate all the fabulous and experienced advice from everyone. Thank you all so much...
Regards and cheers
Chris
