  1. It was interesting to watch the progress of this unprecedented feat today and to see Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) successfully complete the challenging "unprecedented feat" of soft landing the Vikram Lander on the largely unexplored far side of the moon. It will be interesting to so see what the lander is able to discover in the days to come. India is now the fourth country to soft land a probe on the moon.

  2. I see its still selling for £100 - which IMHO is considerably overpriced. If memory serves, if you use EQMOD on a PC or laptop, then you only need a cheap £25 USB GPS dongle attached to the computer and a relatively inexpensive EQMOD cable to connect the mount. However, as others have said, unless you move around a lot, you will only need to determine your co-ordinates once. The GPS mouse will, of course, do this automatically for you, but its not a big deal to enter this information manually. A GPS would be very low down on my astro priorities list as well.
