As one who wears specs...
Hi I'm long-sighted and wear specs full time and well on the wrong side of 50.
I have a special pair of glasses with clip-on positive lenses that I use for reading - effectively making me short sighted enough to read StarMap Pro in night mode (dim red screen) on my iPhone or iPad.
At the scope I use Vixen LVW and LV eyepieces for two reasons - they have a huge eye relief so I can see passably well with the specs on and the rubber eyecups fold down leaving a rubber ring so my specs won't be scratched.
If I'm settling down to watch something closely I'll take th specs off and I always wear a jacket with a suitable pocket to keep them warm and clean.
I prefer a laser to a finder though I have both.
I've had a GOTO mount and hated it quickly, and sold it. I really don't like equatorials for casual observing either.
From a practical perspective I think a push-to mount is much better and the one I'd go for is the Half-Hitch with Argo Navis fitted. That or the T-Rex. Will probably buy one next season if I have the cash.
