Im looking to buy my first telescope and Im bamboozled by the information out there..
I want to use it for observational astronomy, although I would also like to try my hand at Astrophotography in the future.
I think I need one that tracks for me? The easier the better really.
I also love the idea of the Go To telescopes..
I want to be able to see comets, galaxies, the moon, planets etc.. and as clearly as possible.
But I don't need anything too pro.. i'm just beginning...
I've found this one.. which i love the look of.. I understand that aperture is the most important factor? and the stability of the stand..
Can anyone tell me if this telescope is any good?..

Also, I couldn't find out whether this one tracks for me?
A few details about me, that might help determine the best telescope for me..
*im a perfectionist and very patient, however I do want to sometimes just go to my telescope and have it show me what I want to see.. hence the Goto feature i like the look of.
*Im technically minded, Im an artist and I love gadgets.
*I live away from bright lights in the Dandenong Ranges in Melbournes East..
*I dont drive and I dont live up any flights of stairs, however I dont want anything too cumbersome.
*I would love to be able to use my telescope during the day as well.
*Im not a fan of the look of dobsonian telescopes..
Thanks
