Skywatcher 14" / 16" push-to vs Go-To

Hi all,

I am looking into upgrading my scope. I have a 10" dob at the moment, but really want auto-tracking. Go-to is not a must (or even a want really) but I do want a way to find objects - push-to would be perfect.

From what I can see, the auto-tracking scopes have no database of objects is that correct? so there is no way to locate objects with just the auto-track version?

I like the 14" Go-To from skywatcher. I've also heard of the 16" coming soon (who knows when?).

Other than these options, is there another scope available in Oz that I've overlooked in the same price range ($3-4k) that still offers auto-tracking but perhaps uses push-to rather than go-to?

Cheers all
