John, I forsee a SkyTracker or ServoCat in your future. Both work great and have their advantages and you will find that they add about 1.5" of aperture to...
Hi John, I am not sure how much the SkyTracker or ServoCats cost but an alternative idea you might consider is the SkyCommander to find the object. Also using...
