Joseph,

that's a great looking setup. Which mount is that? Maybe Losmandy Titan?

Joseph,

I have the Losmandy DSC on my G11, no "goto". The good thing is that the
motors are dirt cheap, I have five spare ones in case one should fail ;-)

....Stefan, I stumbled across 2ea of the Hurst 3008-002
steppers motors on AstroMart for 75$,, Losmandy has
switched to a SIAI/Burgess for 85$ea and Hurst has
raised the prices of the 3008-002 to 120$ea,, Also i'm
in the process of upgrading the gears to Hi Precision
Diamond Lapped Byers Gears..!
..
....now if i could only find a good weather machine..!
