I guess because such a clutch would not move the telescope at all

What is needed is a clutch that can be dis-engaged... like the one used here..

OK, maybe it could have been done better, but it is not a problem to reset the whole thing once in an hour...
Maybe a friction clutch, that needs a certain force to start slipping is a better idea....
