Welcome aboard Geoff!!
I might point out that you're setting yourself up for some grief learning this on a SCT. Purchase a cheap refractor and learn the intricacies on something more forgiving.
I've purchased my first SCT after a year of camera lenses and refractors and it's not easy... but at least I dont have to learn 'the mount, guiding and the art of actually taking the pictures at the same time.
