I am designing a satellite PT mount for my satellite antenna. I know about not pointing lasers at airplanes and I do NOT plan on that.
But what I am looking for is what pointer they use to show stars in the sky. I want to use Predict and track Comm Satellite automatically. But what I also want to do is point it out as the unit pans. I am going to use a Yagi and mount it on top of that. I plan on having a 12v battery to drive the unit. I also am going to use a .9 step angle motor with 57oz hold power. So the unit can not be very heavy. I also plan on using about 3 amp - 5 amps, for safety, say 8 amps with onboard computers and drivers. I plan on using shielded cable in the antenna and to the radio. The frequencies are from 137mhz to 440mhz. I hope that is enough info to give me an idea.
