The Intelliscope is set up to accept the Intelliscope controller, a sold-separately computer that attaches to the scope and allows you to find (with reasonable accuracy) thousands of stars and other objects that are pre-programmed into the computer. You move the scope by hand, but the computer tells you where to go. All you have to do to set it up is focus on two bright stars where you are and that tells the computer your latitude and longitude.
If you buy an intelliscope, you can always upgrade and get the computer for an extra $150 or so, but if you don't get the intelliscope initially, you never can upgrade.
Personally, I'm hoping to really learn the night sky, so I just bought an XT10 without the intelliscope feature, but I did buy a Telrad finder for it. Now THAT'S product. Center an object in the Telrad (after a little tweaking to adjust it to your scope) and that puppy is DEAD CENTER in the eyepiece.
