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.
