1RPM Barn Door Tracker

Hi Everyone. I am just getting back into astrophotography, and with my newly acquired skills, have finally been able to design a 1 Rpm Barn door tracker system, with a stepper Motor. All the electronics are done, just have to do the wood part.

If anyone is interested, let me know, and I'll make some more, i.e.
The circuit board, Stepper motor, 2 gears and the curved rod.
It just requires 4 * 1.5 volt batteries for it to run.
No programing required.
Just select CCW or CW and switch ON.

I'm not sure how I will mount it.
