I have finaly decided to go with the RobDob approach whcich should keep costs down. I have placed a wanted add in AStromart for Autostar 497+LXD motors. I will do the same here. I belive this is the cheapest way to track for a Dob at the moment, and in my budget. I was thinking of a LX50 Fork adapted for a Newt and i think thats will end up costing as much as a new scope. I want to keep the Dob it simple to use, and with an Autostar it will be much better for tracking.
If i had the money i would go SiTech Serv, also Servo Cat is an option but its relatively more expensive but its more matue. This with Argonavis for goto, is the best goto system for a dob out there. I would do this if nothing else to get official support from Gary Kopf a very knowledgeable gentelman. The information he has provided to me to date for nothing is invaluable.
Regards
Fahim
