can i motorise a single stalk barstool so i can sit on it while turning

[fastfit]

is there a motor i can motorise a single stalk barstool so i can sit on it while it turns

[Scott]

may I ask the purpose for this? Is it for use at the scope?

[Kai]

I suppose the simple answer is yes you can

At sidereal rate for observing with binoculars?

Oh man! I love SGL!

In DIY you can find motors/gearing to drive anything at any rate, however, I doubt it would be any good without a stool wedge, angled for observing at your location

If you're observing your scope through an equatorial mount, I fail to see what use a rotating stool

will be.

Unless I'm guessing wrong, and you are merely wanting to milk a frisky Cow.

You need to be a bit more specific fastfit.

Please tell me you are planning on keeping the seat attached to the stool if you go ahead and try this...

I thnk that until the OP expands on his intentions the replies are unlikely to be constructive.

He doesn't appear to want to reveal his intention though Peter,

so the posts may continue to get sillier  .

Maybe he's fallen off the stool ... Or stuck on it

Maybe he managed to motorise it and now cannot get off!
