Thought some of you who have astronomy software on your ipod touch and would like to use Sky Voyager to control your scope might like to know the following.
Using a Lantronix wifibox sourced from Sonaar in OZ, we now can control the scope remotely, can even use the laptop on wifi as well, no cords in the dark at all, works very well, the Lantronix has two serial connectors, so intend to stream video from the scope over wifi as well. Its a very small unit, and does the job very well. I know Carina Software who make the Sky voyager software are bringing out there own wifi adapter later this year, but this unit does the job well, and can be sourced closer to home.
