Computerised sounds cool but if the price was too high I wouldn't have an issue not having it (don't know much about them) and there's something about trying to find object that makes it fun for me.
I'd rather have a better view for the extra money if possible.
What sort of things should I look for? I really don't know much so any advice will be much appreciated!

Finski..
Ive found that a 10 inch reflector/Dob , and 4 /5inch ED/Apo Refractor is the best combo for a lifetime..a few of Deloi/Nagler , or equivalent , and Barlow, and your set really ..But the bug for more bites!
PS:And double Stars are good to observe ; see my post on Gamma VOLANTIS.
