Shaft end I meant.. because average camera scale will be close to 1 arcsec/pixel (1m FL, 5um pixel).

I am aware of those closed-loop systems, but they must be extremely expensive (encoder must be free of PE and backlash, which is not possible to achieve (at reasonable price) with up-gearing)- so I don't think they will ever be available for average user.
And what's the point? Guiding works well (not my own experience yet, though).
