I'll have to check out those eyepiece.. There are so many to choose from and I really don't have a clue what I'm looking for.

I'm not looking at getting a GOTO mount, just a drive motor so 1) I don't have to keep turning the RA knob. 2) I can better assess my polar alignment (my subject should stay centered if i'm accurately polar aligned)
Maybe it's because my scope is light, but i don't really have vibration or balance problems; the scope balances nicely and only vibrates in strong wind or when i turn the focuser (for a couple of seconds).
