Would you be interested ?

G'Day All,
I saw this posting on Cloudy Nights Speciality Forums >> Astronomy Software & Computers
"If there was a complete wireless kit on the market (wireless adapter, cable, power source and USB Bluetooth 2.0 dongle) that was tested and guaranteed to work with you Celestron NexStar or Meade LX200 scopes, ASCOM 5.X drivers and Windows XP/VISTA Home for under $150.00 US dollars would you purchase it? "
I was wondering how many members or guests would buy such a kit? I think it's a great idea.Would be great.considering whats around at the moment,Would like any comments good or bad.And you can also send a comment to the author if you like I'm sure he would appreciate it.

Yes, to go with iPhone :)

A future update to Starmap Pro for the iPhone will have support for LX series scopes via wifi or bluetooth.

A bit like having a handheld version of Vixens Starbook mated to an LX mount.
