Quote..... 1.2Mtr Polar MTG yes it has been on the arc for 15 years and is still driven by a modified wiper motor from a Ford Anglia. It's like me sad but effective.
I have this idea that its theoretically impossible to accurately follow the clerk belt with any (single motor) mount. It's perfectly obvious what is necessary - a motorised mount which adjusts up and down, left and right and remembers the position of every satellite it detects a signal from. You would set it up to scan the whole sky (ie everywhere that satellites might be) it would start off at about horizon level and pedantically cover every inch of sky automatically.
