drive for Skywatcher collapsible Dobs.

I have seen ads for Skywatcher collapsible Dobs with drive systems: can anyone tell me if it is possible to retrofit my 10" collapsible, or will I have to sell mine and buy a new one. After many many years of having driven scopes, I quickly got sick of constantly nudging this one, especially at higher powers, when it is close to impossible to move an object within the field of view without losing it altogether.
thanks Ray

I just posted this thread which you might find interesting. Of course you would have to get the auto tracking unit.

Collapsible Dob tracking

Thanks Claude; I have just heard from a dealer that there has been talk of a retrofit kit, but he has heard nothing from Skywatcher on the subject yet,
regards Ray
