DFM Telescope control
Hi Bob,
A while back we spoke about controlling my meade via the ACP.Telescope hub from python. I got this to work great (thanks for your help with that).
I have some friends in India with a 1.3m DFM telescope which they can control with the sky. If they download the sky controlled telescope driver (and the ASCOM platform etc) can a similar python program speak with their telescope. I am asking here as the ACP forum always has the best answers.
In my previous program i used the line:
'myScope = win32com.client.Dispatch("ACP.Telescope")'
To connect to my 16'' Lx200 via the ACP hub. Can I use something in place of "ACP.Telescope" to speak with the SCT driver?
Thanks in advance,
James
