I guess will stick with my 10" for this year (or till winter's over at least

) and try and improve on that --- see if I can add tracking to the existing mount. I do have two capable stepper motors with controller boards and a Raspberry Pi 2 that has not seen much action yet. I am a little stumped though on how to mechanise/motorise the movement: along the alt-axis especially. Everything I've thought of so far (and seen others do) is either fairly cumbersome or flimsy.
Steve,
I'm not one to dismiss aperture fever, this cruel disease is no myth. But there is SO much to explore with the 10" there is everything right with not rushing in.
If you do mechanise it, please share it on IIS I would love to see what you do.
Thanks for the kind words everyone.
Clear skies to you all.
A
