As for Markus' question about pushing things to the limits, there are plenty of solutions for tracking (and guiding) with AltAz mount and compensating for field rotation at the same time (which is not constant BTW, maximum is around celestial equator and minimal towards east or west directions, see here).
I am still using Mel Bartels solution for my dob, but there are other options:
OnStep, SoundStepper... etc. I tried those two and they were working OK.


But, yes, EQ mount is preferred. Or EQ platform for dobs.
