Using an LX90 8", or rather I have one, but haven't managed to get outside
with it yet as it's either been cloudy, or when it's been clear, I've been sick. I've attached a laptop to it and managed to get its autostar firmware updated to the latest version, which was not going will until I found a USB-RS232 cable. My next project is write something to extract the GPS data from my PDA and send it to my Laptop and then down the serial port to the scope, save typing the coords in each time I go somewhere new. So now I'm wondering what the best software to use to control the GOTO capabilities of the scope from the laptop. I don't believe the Starry Night program that comes with it will control the scope, it seems just to be able to send a "park" signal to it. .(which works). TIA Adrian |
