Thanks for the info. I have an Android tablet although I already use a Bluetooth control via EQMOD but it is interesting to know.
I would still need to know if it is accurate enough to operate guiding and subsequently imaging. This is more reading but so far quite happy with my netbook and EQMOD.

I believe the ones that are hardware based work best.
The southern stars website has info on suitable serial Bluetooth adapters here:

PM me if you would like me to put you in touch with my friend who got this system going.
Also there is a very useful yahoo group for sky safari. The developers respond regularly and may be able to help.
