Hey paula, thanks for the reply.
I am thinking about getting the same one.
I will also be suffering fr ok m crappy weather lol.
the only difference between the motor drive and dob is that I would manually have to move the telescope due to earths rotation? I am not thinking about photography at all yet so I dont think the motor drive thing is a nessecity for me anyway.
From a noob point of view, how do you find using it? And how much does it weigh roughly?
