Telescope control software

Hi everyone

I need a little help with something.

I would like set up a system which is completely computer controlled.
I would like to set up the scope in the backyard and control it from the warm comfort of my living room.
it is freezing outside these days....

What i have s far:
Celestron CPC925 SCT
Meade DSI which i can use as an guide cam
Orion starshoot deep space imaged CCD
DMK51
Moonlite focuser with high resolution stepper motor.

I still need a motorised filter wheel and i believe that is it.

What i know so far is i need MaximDL to capture with the starshoot ccd

What i want to ask is if anyone knows what programs i need:
- a planetarium that can control the scope
- software to control the focuser, filter wheel, focusing software

Any other information would be valuable and appreciated.

thanks.

John
