Hey all:

I am trying to build a stepper motor to control the movement of my camera, so as to do astrophotography - in this instance, I am not using my telescope, just the camera.

I have built the mount for it and have thus far been manually tracking, which is real, real tedious!

I've got heaps of PC parts here, but I need help with this - if anyone has built their own stepper motor from PC parts (ie floppy disk drive motor, or printer motor, etc) can you PM me as I could use a bit of guidance. I'm currently using the FDD motor as a starting point.

Thanks in advance!

Mick
