Hi Paul

I have been playing with the synscan attached to the computer. I have been writing a program to access all its PC available commands. They are similar to the Celestron but only a limited version. Just about all you can do is read the position and goto your own generated position.

All I can do is read a data base into the program and select an item, star, comet, planet, NGC, messier or entered coords. Then send the mount to that position.

I should be able to vary the track rate but haven't decoded the method yet and there must be a way to put date time and location in because the GPS adaptor does that. However the Celestron commands don't work.

Barry
