That said, if you are happy to power up the mount, do a warm-start, slew then sync to a star, the modelling will be preserved and you can easily control it over a network with whatever software (eg SkyX)
Hope that helps.

if you have a web camera on the mount then surely if you lose power and mount location you can power up next time, roughly align it to the home position then use plate solving to find your location when imaging. ... maybe i am being naive
