yep..  true..  but it is also knd of what I do for a living...


I think it can be done,  to build an equatorial platform, and really control it's speed/angle over time.

"how it is done" but for many (most?) things there are good reasons for
traditional ways.

I don't think anyone did,  but I know that's how most do it...

But that's just too easy  :)    I would just like to see if I can do it,
killing time

I haven't been following this closely but has anyone suggested that you
use a
DC motor with an encoder? With a PID loop and PWM power to the motor
you could
run the motor continuously. DC motors with integrated encoder and
planetary
gearbox are readily available for a few dollars. Just a thought.
