[AZ-Observing] Re: Eagle Eye this past Sat.

My two cents worth on the Dob Driver...  I installed one on my scope, no 
problems and have used it for a few years now.  However, I found that there 
was something missing in my observing with it... that is, the experience of 
manipulating the tube by hand. I can't articulate it very well, but I can 
enjoy looking for and find things so much easier by grabbing and moving the 
scope vs. motoring around by buttons.  That may be just me, but as a result I 
often disconnect the driver unless I am on one object for sketching, high 
power, etc.  It sounds like the platforms would be the best of both worlds... 
steady viewing but still hands-on.  The LX-ers may not understand what I'm 
talking about.  But with the dob, there is a tactile connection missing with 
the Dob Driver.
