hey,

If I wanted to get a motorized mount (anything that has a motors on 2 axis, I can do the stepper logic if needed), what would you guys sugguest? I have an 8" Cas. I would have this hooked up to a computer to do all the goto function, so portability isn't too much of a concern..

Thanks!

How much money do you want to spend and what do you want to do? Photography??? Visual ???

There are mounts that start at a few hundred that are sufficient for visual.
