I am researching the guide scope for my old toucam......just need to stabilize my wonky guide scope.

There is a ccd female socket on my hand controler for the dob driver and i reckon i can use desire / toucam / laptop to guide the scope.
I haven't called Peter yet, but yes I hope it's covered.

The whole system is becoming more integrated now that it's got a permanent home, and I've added a few tweaks to the software over the off season, so it's all slowly evolving into a nice system.

I'm going to have to bit the bullet sometime soon and port my version of coriander to a newer version, the one I've been working on is version 1.0.0, from 2004, and I'm about to lose kernel support for it. I've been putting that off as it's going to be a pita to do.
