Here's a look at my 2020 Astrophotography Setup. My main gear now includes a Nikon D750, iOptron SkyGuider Pro, William Optics Space Cat telescope, and Feisol CT-3442 tripod.

I still recommend going with the "old fashioned" SkyGuider Pro, rather than the new iPolar version. This will allow you to do a visual polar alignment using the polar scope, and you can always use an auto-guider and SharpCap for a precise polar alignment. Once the iPolar is installed, you will always need a laptop in the field to do your polar alignment. Unless you mount a laser pointer to the SkyGuider Pro and do a quick alignment that way.
