I'll be interested to see how you get on with the Pentax lens. I did something similar with a Nikkor 180mm ED f/2.8

Here are some photo of my widefield setup

I think I've worked it out now. Very cool. Trying tonight on a real star. I like your tensioning belt system. Did you use bearings for the rollers or just straight shaft in the alu blocks?
PS: If you've got the part# for the cogs and width of the belts. There's a lot of this stuff on eBay but not sure on your dimensions. 11mm?
