Hi Morton
I just discovered these myself and am really impressed with them - various manufacturers (Vixen was first) have made their standard AZ mounts and then an after market gadget from JMI called 'train and track' is a set of small motors which when attached to the mount and via simple movements will learn to follow a target. So you get the quasi tracking of a computerised mount without the hassles.
So - no goto but it will learn to track objects via you simply moving the mount yourself and thus mimic your movements when following a target. They are small and portable and gives your AZ mount and whole new lease on life
