Thanks
The scope I ordered comes with the motor drive, I have been reading that the deep sky view is narrowish is there a way around that? Perhaps using different eyepieces?
My scope before was a Celestron Nexsky 80MM, not the best scope, but a great little scope for a beginner, I purchased the scope about 4 years ago at my local costco store. I started getting annoyed with it, because the planets looked no different in the scope than to my naked eye, especially Mars. I did see faint rings on Saturn, but these are not the results I was after. So now that I picked up some Astrophotography equipment, I am really not happy with the result my 80MM was giving me

Thanks for your help
