  1. Hi I'm new here and new to telescopes and looking for some help deciding between these two telescopes: Celestron NexStar 6 SLT or Skywatcher Star Discovery P150i. I'm trying to get something fairly easy to use when it comes to both mount and overall weight, which is why I've ruled out a dobsonian for now. It's important for me that I get something that I'll be able to take out and back in by myself so that I don't bother my husband every time I want to use my telescope. I would like to be able to see some deep sky objects too and not just the moon and planets, and I think a Goto would be good for me. I do own a 10inch Newtonian already (which was gifted to me) but I'm struggling with it's mount. I was told it's a German equatorial mount but was not shown how to use it. I find it very difficult to move it exactly as I want to when trying to look for objects in the night sky, and it is also extremely heavy and impossible for me to take outside by myself. I am therefore looking for something a bit more straightforward to begin with that will still provide good views, allow me to transport it myself and be a bit easier to get into. I narrowed it down to those two telescopes above but am open to ideas. Ideally I'd like to keep it at around £500 - 600. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks
