How to convert old EQ mount to computer control?
I have old Astro Optical EQ mount with clock drive. Is very strong but I have to manually correct guide which is okay but gets sometimes boring!
I have seen bartel system and scitech system etc.
Is it possible to convert mount to computer control for guiding?
It has slow fast control on handpiece, I am thinking I could control that with relay, DEC has a manual control that maybe could use servo to adjust?
I am new to this things but want to learn.
Could softwares be used to keep guide star centred by emulating my hand movements on the controller?
