I went for the 8300mAh Talentcell battery should get me started at least. Thanks for the help guys

I've just got myself a Starwatcher Star Discovery with a GoTo mount. Looking at getting a power tank for it but the Celestron/SkyWatcher 7Ah or 17ah are out of stock everywhere (shock). So with that I mind are there other alternatives I can use that are actually available to buy? Also in terms of disposable batteries, what type am I buying? I believe rechargeables are not suitable

I'm in Cumbria so I do have access to pretty dark skies (and driveable to Galloway Dark Skies Park and also Kielder) so a Dob is certainly a future co siderstion. Not sure I have the space to store it mind that's a bit of a monster.

Looking to make my first steps into astronomy. I've always had an interest in it but never owned a scope before. My research has led me to 6 inch reflectors and I'd like to do planetary and DSO viewing. I've shyed away from equatorial mounts to begin with due to complexity. I want sonething that is easy so I can get the bug. I would eventually like to do astrophotography and I understand that this one isn't ideal for various reasons (mount, prime focus). This isn't my main reason for buying though so not a massive issue, as I don't even own a camera currently 🤣. Any other scopes I should be considering alongside this one? Budget is £500 max. Thanks
