Thank you for your input guys. Cosmic Geoff, are you saying the GPS can replace the need for using Starsense? Can you recommend a GPS system? Iain

Good evening, It's been a while since I last posted. Back then, I had a 200P Dob. I ended up selling the dob as I just wasn't getting out enough with it. My astronomy journey never really took off, although my interest has never wavered. Well, the calling has returned and I've been saving for a more portable scope. I've budgeted around £1000 and have my eye on the Nexstar 6SE. If I may, could I ask a few opinions? My budget includes a dew shield and maybe an extra lens. Is it worth saving more for the starsense or will I manage without it for now? ] Do any of you guys own a Nexstar, and if so, what are your opinions of the scope? I'm aware of the battery problems with the scope. What do you guys use for portable power? Would you recommend any other additions for a newbie? Thank you.
