I may be in the position in the next 2-3 weeks to buy my first real
decent telecope and a couple of recommended extras.

All being well I am looking to spend about £1000, I would like
something that is easy to use, so I would prefer one with an
automatic/electronic GOTO mount.

I am considering the Meade ETX125 but I am open to suggestions so all
thoughts and comments welcomed.

I love my ETX125. It's not quite a "grab and go" scope but close. Of
course, it has its limitations due to aperture and design. My only
complaint is that (IMHO) the automatic alignment is not as good as it could
be.
