Default An ametuer telescope question.

I am an ametuer to astronomy. I want to get mechanized telescope from Orion.
Here is the telescope: Here
I was also thinking about star wheels and such.
But I was wondering if this would be a good telescope to get.

If you can suggest another mechanized telescope for 600$ and below please do.

Thanks for your help.

I can't suggest another mechanized (go-to) scope, especially under $600.

But I can suggest that you forego the "go-to" scope for now and instead purchase a 6" or 8" Dobsonian.

See this thread: I'm thinking of getting a telescope
