Barry,
AstroArt gives complete control of all cameras (darks/flats/ sequences etc etc), can control the telescope/ mount for Goto and target acquisition as well as guiding, re-centring, plate solving etc. (It doesn't in spite of being Italian, make good coffee ;-) )
John has developed his ObsMgr scripting program to work with AA5 and allow automatic batch target acquisition - works very well.
