Hello Milton!


It is clear, that Meade made better "API" support now to me. Well since Celestron is also SW upgradable now (I even managed to upgrade my old v3.xx HC with direct eeprom approach), they could add some new features in the future.


Thank you for really great and detailed explanation!


BR,

Secondly, with the Celestron protocol you have to read the current 

position (both RA and then Dec) out first then write the new location 

back out. It is at least 3 times as slow as doing it Meades way or 

the GPUSB way, which don't require you to wait for a response - just 

tell it to move for this length of time.
