We now have some video footage of a stepper driven scope tracking and slewing. The purpose is to dispel some myths that steppers are noisy or rough when slewing. The steppers in the mount are new, NEMA 17 frame size and 400 step. The steppers in the bench video are surplus, 200 step, $8.50 each. 

This video is of one of our custom made mounts slewing and tracking, 7.2 megs, avi format 
In mpg format, 4 megs
This is another video of the same mount, 5.5 megs
In mpg format, 4 megs
