I got some advise that there is a mod for the SW 12" so it can go on a EQ6. EQ6 could be to only one to handle the weight. I would give this a miss due to the weight.

I believe from the same source that the tracking used for the 12" available in the near future could be adapted for current 12". Will have to wait to see on this. Has anyone tried to adapt the 8 or 10" currently available?

Argo Navis could be used http://www.wildcard-innovations.com.au/.

I am considering simple tracking ALT/AZ motors to auto guide. I have access to loads of electronics so easy to make.
I kinda like the idea that lo tech as possible for a beginner like me is a good education.
Buy all the high tech stuff for me now and miss the learning curve.
