Telescope Automation Software, Beta Test - RTGUI+S
Beta Test software is now available that allows completely flexible
command line operation, or full scripting, for full automation of standard Meade or Celestron goto telescopes. RTGUI is now RTGUI+S: In addition to the Graphic User Interface, it now has Scripting . This means that in addition to the things you could do before, you can now use command line parameters or even actual scripts to fully automate telescope functions. For example, you can tell RTGUI+S to wait until 02:00, then point the telescope to each galaxy in Pegasus of at least magnitude 14, image it, and move onto the next one. As the documentation explains, you have enormous flexibility in programming what it's going to do. This should be of great interest to imagers, who might want to automate searches for asteroids, supernovae, etc. I invite you to contact me if you are interesting in trying out the Beta software for RTGUI+S before its general release. Feel free to get back to me with any questions or comments. If anyone develops any new scripts that are useful, I will be happy to share them with others. The regular RTGUI page is at http://www.debunker.com/astro/rtguipage.html . That version does not yet have the scripting functions. -- Robert Sheaffer - User name "Roberto" at debunker-dot-com Skeptical to the Max!
