The Skywatcher GOTO dobs all have identical looking tracking system bolted on ( need to study this further ). With an 8" GOTO I could strip off the GOTO/Tracking system for use on a larger scope and still have a push around dob for fun all for $1000.
Interesting thought Mark.

I notice you can buy the mount as an upgrade, but it's a bit xpensive compared to a whole scope. Your option sounds more feasible. Unless something second hand comes up. They have both a basic Tracking setup or more sophisticated GOTO, with a controller.
