Ok,
so here is a bit of work in progress code for you to play with. if your game...
The Meade is doing some funny things if I send complicated command strings...

This code will move the mount N-E-S-W, has a target example string, has a zero-zero AltAz home. And a few other buttons. It overlays most of the info on the camera image, could be useful for many things later.

You will need to determine your com port, and your camera needs to be windows detectable, ie. a DMK. . It can be made to save PNG or JPG images.

Some possibilities for later....
Pixel values can be read dynamically...
real time measure a variable star ....
find all the bright stars in the FOV....
track selected stars to make guiding calculations....in field guiding...
spot fast movers, meteors, satellites.....

copy the text file into a new 32bit processing.org sketch and save it.

Also note that Serial only works in a 32bit processing.org sketch.

kind regards, Alan.
Have fun.... not really offering any support, but happy to help if I can...
added screen example of AltAz mode....
