Probably going to use a worm gear motor and a pololu motor controller to drive the dome rotation.

At this stage I'm thinking of mounting a small solar panel and AGM battery to the dome and fixing the motor to the dome rather than the ring. From there, I'll probably drive it with a timing belt fixed to the ring, and have an arduino hooked up to the PC which will transmit radio control signals to the dome-mounted controller.
