I think to use a motorised mount for this sort of work you'd need some pretty spendy gear of the sort that Thierry Legault uses. Even if you can find a mount that can slew at that sort of speed, it needs to be fantastically accurate and you also need to have the very latest up to date info on the ISS orbit, which keeps changing. Otherwise you'd run the risk of tracking the bit of space just behind the ISS. So I am happy just to have the scope mounted on a simple equatorial mount with the clutches undone.

I caught a mouse sort of like that using a carrier bag and jam instead of a coke bottle.
it remains one of the highest achievements of my life.

I once caught a mouse in a bucket but it jumped out before I could cover it.
That's pretty quick, I'm wondering if the mount I can get access to goes that fast. Probably not, and the tech's probably wouldn't let me try either :-(
