That was fun - It would have been a more effective demo if it had been done on an alt-az, and the slew rate on the eq6 is way to low to be overly impressive to the lay-person.

Nice (miss)use of technology

Well spotted!

Cool.
There is a domestic embroidery machine you can buy off the shelf that is controlled with a Game Boy console.
So why not a Wii controlled telescope?
