A huge evolution has occurred in the types of mounts available to and used by amateur astronomers. These models here have full Goto capability and will find objects in the sky for you. Many of them use GPS data to refine their positioning, and all can be controled from computers - which can be half a world away if you want full robotic operation!

Let your mount do the work, and spend your time where you want to be - at the eyepiece.
