Malcolm,
far better to microstep down to an even finer level.
A Bartel stepper drive can allow microsteps of 20 per step
and even 40 ( I think).
This is very smooth when refined and working sweetly.
1/8 steps per step may show as coarse steps at the eyepiece
and be unworkable with the reduction ratios needed for
tracking. I may be wrong though on that point.
