Thanks all!

I'm thinking (out loud) about how the encoder feedback loop would work in this application, on a 400 step/rev if we ask UStepper to move 1/64th of a step (0.014) degrees and because of load it doesn't move that amount, what will happen, we wouldn't want it to shudder?

Can you get 400 step/rev Nema 17's with more torque than normal?

I think I want to just directly connect the steppers to the R.A and Dec control shafts, it's simpler and this is just for visual.

I wonder would the master/slave bus for uStepper be useful for this application, the R.A. uStepper could be the master issuing commands to the slave Dec. uStepper when it was time to slew?
