As yet another prospective newbie skypeeper, I'd very much value anyone's
thoughts on this beast on eBay:

It says that they have motor and camera mount available to suit it and the
scope itself will probably go for about 200 beer tokens. For a complete
beginner in a city area that isn't terribly dark, would it give me a
sporting chance set up on my concrete shed roof? I'd like to see planets
and some deep sky stuff too if at all feasible. I do have a quality
laptop
which I'd intend to use to make it GOTO since my knowledge of the skymap
is
minimal.
