You need some serious motors to drive this thing :)

Damn that's a big setup! Love it tho! :)

That's nice if you're just imaging with it....if you plan on observing with it you will need to rotate the tube when the eyepiece gets into unreachable positions!
-
Can you take pictures with it?

You have created a monster.

Sweet. What do you do when the focuser is in an unreachable position? How do you rotate the tube?

This is what Edwin Hubble would have at home if her were alive today. He loved reflectors.

Depends on the condition of the equatorial mount you get. If all is well enough to suit you, then the conversion is anywhere from US$1000-$4000, depending on the options you want.

Where can i get a mount like this to hold my LB 16?

@CumputerPhysiscsLab
The mount is an old Meade Starfinder EQ AKA a DS-16 mount. They are no longer in production. The gearing and electronics are custom installed by me.
You can find these, unconverted for about $500.00 on astromart, e-bay and cloudy nights. If you find one, I can convert it to GoTo with little trouble.
