Ignore that bit. Most scopes can only use about 200-300x successfully. Anything above that needs very very large, very very expensive and very very precise equipment.

Also, Andrews has the 8" Skywatcher with full motorized go-to for $999 at the moment

I was VERY worried about buying a dob vs motorised about 8 months ago but i have not regretted it at all.
