RE: Telescope Control Project

["Steve Chambers" <smunch@clara.co.uk>]

Hello,

I don't know if this is of interest but I have a fair bit of experience with
Mel Bartels system.  This is very flexible, offers pec and full pointing
model corrections.  If does need a separate PC to run on but will take lx200
style commands.  Best of all it is very well developed, supported and of
course free!

Steve
