What about a set of Losmandy shaft encoders? This way once you have it polar aligned, and the Gemini has a star alignment, you can slip the clutches (either on purpose or by accident) and push-to wherever you like without the Gemini losing its position. Otherwise you constantly have to slew under motor control, draining your field battery faster.
