Yes Mike....A stepper would be good.....I have an EQ5 mount with dual drives on it.[synta] & their steppers..I even pulled the DEC motor off & mounted it tempoarily on my big EQ & it drove it without a problem...The only trouble is it doesn't rotate at 1 rpm....it rotates a lot SLOWER than that, therefore a stepper using a crystal controlled frequency oscillater to keep a perfect frequency for the timing/rotation of the motors is perhaps the way to go... The best design would be something similar where it would also keep track of the motor speed and feed it back to the electronics where it would then also adjust its own frequency to compensate for any variations....
