mick & others

a dob has two degrees of freedom i assume. one in 360 degrees around the base and one from zero to 90 degrees. How hard to motorize these two movements.
Can someone display some close up pics of the two areas, ie the base and top pivot point. I played with stepper motors in the late 80's as part of my BAppSci. How hard to spin base and (x&y axes) and then z axis again. I can easily link stepper motor(s) control through my laptop parallel port to control.
