Take your time to learn and it should do well for you - Celestron NexStar Special Edition Telescope 11068 - 6in Computerized Schmidt-Cassegrain

I am still working with features. Align is not a one time procedure. Battery life is about two hours. I use rechargeables and ordered the AC adaptor. You'll need a power pack or something for country trips. Resolution is very nice. I haven't used my camera yet and I'm still learning to integrate the skyware software program. But I can get it on an object fairly quick with the finder unit. My 6" is about the limit of what I want to be carrying around from place to place.
