The Celestron is an f13 compared to the f7 of the Skywatcher. This means that the Celestron will be a bit like looking at the sky through a straw with no wide views (these are more important than most newbies expect). Another point is that the two mounts are like cheese and chalk, the Skywatcher one will blow the other out of the water easily in ease of use and stablilty.
