Motor drive for Skyliner dob

[DeepThought]

Hi

I heard a rumour that a motor drive kit exists for Skywatcher Skyliner dobsonians.

Can anyone confirm or deny this, if so then any idea where they can be purchased from and for how much?

Thanks

Happy reading :-)

Thanks

To be honest I'm not all that fussed about having Goto as i'm happy to starhop to a target, but tracking would be nice for some longer webcam shots.

Astonishing to read that the dob upgrade alone costs more than more than a new Skywatcher Explorer 200P on an EQ5 mount plus a set of motors to go with it.

Yep... Its pretty extreme just for some tracking!
