Accurate star tracker

The link at the bottom of the page to Stephen Tonkins " A Better Barn Door mounting" contains one of the best discriptions I've seen for this very simple but VERY effective mountings.
It can track for up to an hour with NO visible error on a 135mm lens!!!!

Just thought...... why could it not be redesigned to support a telescope!!!!!
