Sorry Doug, I've been to Bintel and GSO sites, and no sign of motor kits
for their Dobs. GSO appear to have a much smaller product range than SW. Maybe they are a smaller company, and can't afford the costs
associated with making Go To models.
You could sell your 12 and get an Orion 10 Go To for $1500.[ assuming that it reaches prime focus]. The SW 10 Flex Dob Go To is dearer at about $1699.[It does reach PF]. I'm guessing that you don't want to drop in aperture though. I think the 12" Go To Dobs start at about $2099.
Much cheaper than buying a large EQ mount, and much easier to set up.
If you're not into imaging, I would have thought it would be the ideal solution; out of pocket about $1000 or 1500, depending on whether you went 10 or 12.
