Second image is the first motorised version, which because of the way the worm gear was drilled out, it vibrated a fair bit. The third and fourth images were my successful version, as you can see, cobbled together out of Lego gears. But hey, it worked.
Back then (June 2013), polar alignment was still a mystery being discovered, so I could get images no longer than 4 minutes at 55mm

Thanks Scotty.
That's a solid looking Barndoor and mount.
I use to remember turning things by hand too. It's was no fun. I'm glad you worked out how to do it with a motor.
I'll post a pic of my mount tomorrow.
