Yeah but!!!!!!! and I know you have one on your 16" and I know they are
a GREAT piece of kit. And I am in no way knocking your choice. I really
fail to see the benifit on a scope small enough you can peer through the EP
from the ground. Or at least maybe need a step stool. So IMO (but it's only
mine) a servo cat on this size scope or even an f/4.5 18" is overkill. A well
made truss dob of any flavour the action should be so smooth you dont
need tracking.

just my 2c

btw, I love your scope and what you have done with it. It must be a real
treat to use. I may build a compact design on the side myself.
