"Meade classic and Autostar" ASCOM Driver in StellariumScope
The telescope curser appears on stellarium and also tracks when the LB16 moves in Az and ALT ,however, things fall apart when you try and tell the scope to move to an object......... not to worry I can live with that.
Thanks again to Gary for a fantastic bit of kit

Hi Trent & Juile,
Thanks for the post.
If you dial up MODE CATALOG, FROM PLANETARIUM, then Argo Navis will
display the GUIDE information to an object when you click on it on a PC
screen and request a GOTO. The planetarium program will transmit the RA/Dec
co-ordinates to Argo Navis and in turn Argo Navis will resolve that into the
amount by which you need to move the mount in Az and Alt. You can use
Argo Navis to zero in on the target by moving the scope with what John Dobson
refers to as "yoghurt power". Some refer to this mode of operation as PUSHTO.
Thanks again for the post and for the kind words.
Best Regards
Gary Kopff
