Evening Jeremy,
Excellent, very pleased you got everything working with the MoonLite - a very nice piece of kit beautifully made.
You could use SharpSky as a DIY rotator after all it is essentially a computer controller motor. The hardware could stay basically as it is. However, at the moment the driver exposes itself as an ASCOM focuser not a rotator so the driver would need re-work to expose itself as a rotator. Currently, the SharpSky focuser driver is only designed to operate as a single instance and having two focuser drivers operating simultaneously would cause some software confusion. So the options are to make a simple mod to the driver to allow two driver instances to operate together or re-work the driver more extensively to expose itself as a proper rotator instance.
Hope that makes sense ?
Cheers,
Dave
