You have two options. The first would be to place your Dob onto an equatorial platform. The second would be to Bartelize your scope. See http://www.bbastrodesigns.com/cot/cot.html for more information on this option. This will require you to make a circuit board, use stepper or servo motors and connect all this to a laptop for computer control. The nice thing about this option is that you can get complete computerized GoTo control and other advanced features. Hope this information helps. If you need more information about these designs or other assistance, I would be happy to help with any questions you may have.
