Hello
Thanks Lee and Malcolm for your responses.
Ok, I think I am making a little progress.

This one

- One of these stepper motors?

As to how I am going to mechanically attach the thing I am not 100% sure, it was going to be a "get it and tinker" kinda deal. A timing belt and pulley system to turn the focuser and not too sure yet about much else!

I am figuring if I can get the electronic components right (motor, driver etc) then I will just play with it to get the mechanical part right.
Thank you again for your help
Jeremy
