To automate my scope I installed the Ez Goto system from Romer Optics on my 16'' GSO Dobsonian. It provides accurate tracking and goto.
**COMPATIBILITY**
The system is compatible with the following scopes;
Apertura, GSO (bearing model) Orion SkyLine.
Spring tension model scopes/ Skywatcher/Meade Light Bridge are NOT compatible.
