Hi everyone! smile
Do you know any useful links or books about motorizing a dobsonian telescope? I have seen many post here about motorizing big truss tube dobs.
What about 8 inch close tube dob? Is it worth starting this project... or build another scope wink
Thanks smile

Have you looked at StellarCat systems? They are excellent drive systems for Dobs. http://www.stellarcat.com/
