Hi Brendan,

Good to hear from you.

In regards to focusing, if you have a Canon lens with built in motor (ie the 'autofocus ones') you can adjust it remotely using the 'Live View' software. It does a very nice job and you don't have to physically touch the camera. It is of course a different matter if the camera is attached directly to the telescope. Don't have any plans at the moment on the second option.

As for what the camera is attached to, don't have any plans at present. I just want to find out if I can control the camera over the net. The ad said you could but as of yet, I haven't found which bit of software to use.

Cheers,

Paul.
