Celestron CPC 800

Hi guys

A bit of background. I have had a big interest in astronomy for many years, mainly theoretical. I have being using a set of 10 50 binos for eight years. Over the past two years I have been quite sick and last year lost my right leg, forcing me into an early retirement at 55.

I want to get a telescope and have being researching for some time and would like to jump in with a Celestron CPC 800 with some filters, Barlow and a battery pack. I figure that I can afford it, I can lift it, it will give me stunning views and in the future with a wedge etc I can upgrade for some astro photography.

I live in Perth and hopefully will get my MDL back next week. So is the Celestron CPC 800 a reasonable telescope for my situation?
