Having a think of revising my current telescope setup to make it easier to manage.

Is it possible to have SkyFi connected to an iPad with SkySafari via wireless to control the telescope and slew to objects easily and being able to autoguide using either PHD/Open PHD Guiding software as well as having the main camera (either my DSLR or ZWO ASI) connected via AstroLiveUSB/Nebulosity/BackyardEOS?
I have a feeling you can only do this using ASCOM drivers. Both setups look to be doable on both Mac and Windows now that Mac has EQMac.

Basically I want to know if it's possible to be able to control the telescope via wireless but still have the ability to autoguide and take images. This also brings in another question on how to conduct a polar/star alignment as well.

Not sure if it will work or not but any input would be appreciated!

Software for both platforms (thoughts an opinions?)

Mac
- Telescope/Mount Control: EQMac & AstroLiveUSB (unsure how this one works)
- Guiding: Open PHD Guiding & PHD
- Image Capturing: AstroLiveUSB & Nebulosity

Windows
- Telescope/Mount Control: ASCOM/Stallarium Scope (integrates with Stallarium)
- Guiding: Open PHD Guiding/PHD/MetaGuide
- Image Capturing: AstroLiveUSB/Nebulosity/SharpCap/FireCapture/BackyardEOS
