If you are considering a 4 inch MAK, but dont like EQ mounts (and I agree),
then why not a Celestron 4SE.
4 inch MAK on an Alt Az mount with computer GoTo and tracking.
As a bonus, the mount has a built in wedge (which you can still use goto with).
and a separate camera port.
Light and easy to set up.
and at around $900 (last time I checked) well within your budget.
