Part 3: Software
The ASCOM driver on the PC allows full control of the mount with any ASCOM compatible software. Furthermore, the OnStep controller also supports LX200 command set. For example, the guiding works really well with PHD2 and GOTO works with CDC. I did not try other PC software but I am expecting everything to work as it should.
From a mobile phone SkySafari can fully control the mount once it is setup as LX200 compatible.
OnStep controller is receiving regular updates and can be easily updated via USB.
Also, I should correct my comment from my first post, when slewing at full speed the mount is slower than NEQ6 but not by much. I tested them side-by-side and the speed difference is clearly noticeable. Another thing to note is that OnStep goes back to park position when crossing the meridian. This slows down the movement. However, the project is continuously updated so this may change in the future... or it may already have, it looks like I need to do another update of my controller
