I'm into manual alt-az mounts, no electronics. I know how to find anything that is worth seeing from the ground through an eyepiece with your eyes...basically the Moon, Jupiter, Saturn, Andromeda, the Orion Nebula Pleiades....the rest is just scanning with a wide field, which is awesome. With the big wide angle lenses it's like being in a spaceship. Hooray for legal reefer.
I have an equatorial mount but going through that hassle takes the fun out of it and unless you're doing long-exposure photos, there's no need for it. I'm hooked on SVBONY. They took the sting out of losing Orion and Meade all of the sudden. The prices are unreal. I'm buying shit just because they're selling it.

Star hopping - know it well.
