I'd get a Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer Mini, that's 50 quid more than a O-GPS2. If you want to spend 100 quid more, then get a Star Adventurer 2i Pro Pack (this is the one I have). It is far more capable and it can also be used to create time lapse images.
Ioptron also make one which is from about 380 to 600 plus quid.
I tried the O-GPS1 and it was good... but nowhere near the same league as a Star Adventurer. I beleive the Ioptron ones are even better!

Thanks, that's helpful but (although we can always spend more for better quality gear ) I think that to start with I'd like something easy to use and really portable, and I do also want the o-gps units location tagging of images. Besides, half the point is dropping a print on my hi-tech canon shooting colleagues desk saying ' just done with the camera and a forty year old bit of manual focus glass' as I walk away with a big grin (again).

I managed to pick up an O-GPS2 from Amazon last Oct for £148, it may be worth keeping an eye open for further offers.

I've been thinking about equatorial mounts. That isn't a bad price! Would be great for my 300mm with TC or wider lenses.
