Hi,
I am very interested in constructing a mount for a small reflector telescope that is moved by computer 
controlled stepper motors.  I would like to be able to automatically track various LEO satellites using 
this setup.

I realise that software/hardware is available commercially to do this but can I do it on a small budget?
Does anyone on this list have experience with such apparatus?

Best Wishes From,
Henry Titchen
