I am prepared to spend circa Â£800 but need to know if the software can be used on an iPad. What scope would you recommend.

My advice... You will quickly outgrow this scope. Go for a scope on an equatorial mount preferably avx to begin with. With regards to software, stellarium will work on ipad

Ive noticed you need to connect to a computer or laptop, isit compatible with windows 10?

You dont 'need' to, but if you are interested i using a webcam etc or laptop based guidance etc you will, but the scope is ok on its own if you have a little knowledge of the night sky to help line it up.

I am looking to purchase one of the Celestron 6SE telescopes but am concerned that there is no expected time that you will have them back in stock?

The Celestron Nexstar range come into stock quite often But you got to be quick they do sell fast Would recommend it as the are awesome

Do you have to align these scopes each time you use them?

Hi, yes you do. Enter correct time and location then point to 3 bright objects in sky. It’s a little fidgety. You can by an add on which Clips on top of the view finder and plugs in to telescope and simply allows you to point it the sky and it works it all out itself . Take a about 3 mins to align. It’s approx £240 so not cheap but I am going to get one for ours. Cheers M
