Cool!

I love ring mounts, I will be probably trying to build one next year when I get the budget.

I can handle the woodworking and design part of it. With a router and a few bits and pieces perfect circles are easy to make from plywood and the rest is just a matter of accurate cutting on a table saw or something.

But the motorisation is where I am relatively clueless, especially if I want to go even further and equip it with goto abilities and object tracking, controlled by an astronomy app on my iPad or something.

Assuming I can manage the mechanical part of attaching it, how "off the shelf" are motors and all of that other stuff these days?
