now that looks nice, anyone have any suggestions for some very heavy strong computerized motor mount rings+dovetail for a 12" or parts that be used for a 12" that are very strong and stable, im sure with a long enouth rings and enouth counterweights it should hold up with a very sturdy mount, im sure some scmit rings are probly as large as 12" just gotta find some long thick ones, a slow motor would do alot better on friction then a faster one, personally only thing i want the motor for really would be photography, would be cool to let it dirft too

yeah by far the gso is alot lighter, the dob mount is the heavyest peice of the gso, physics is used in astronomy, you can use it to stabilise your scope too
