Seems the remote control is for keying in a planet/star/galaxy/nebula name and number. Following which the telescope will turn and point to the part of the sky where the sky object should be. A more detailed explanation in this link:

That is a great scope. But its not ment for birding, its basically for astronomy purposes.
2.8m scope is good for planetary and also nebulae observation. Its quite big 300mm diameter scope. You might have difficulty to bring around for outing. You need a T-mount adapter to mount on your cam.

But I always advise any bros intend to get a scope, always consult first before you purchase. Not all scope, have a same purposes. The best go to Astro Scientific at Science Centre, the shop is selling mostly Celestron products.
