Yes, 9000:1 means your slews will be as slow as a wet week.
I'm assuming you are intending to have a Bartels stepper drive. If so, there is no reason that I can see to have both axies the same ratio. You could drive the 360:1 Dec axis directly and the RA axis through a 2,3 or 4:1 toothed belt.
If you are intending to run a servo system (Bartels-SiderealTechnology/ServoCAT), IIRC the servos come with a small step-down gearbox. So both motors bolt straight on your 360:1 drives.
