AstroTelescope is a simple planetarium application for the astrophotography.
The star map can be displayed in any scale and rotated by any angle, with selectable star density and with or without star names. Hipparcos Catalogue and selected NGC and IC DSO object are available from the application locally, but any object can be searched online by calling public SIMBAD service on Strasbourg Astronomical Data Center.
An application can control connected mount both by selecting object on the star map or manually, mount position can be synced automatically from solved image in AstroImager application.
Its built-in drivers support Meade LX and Celestron NexStar protocols both over serial line and TCP/IP (with many version limitation in case of NexStar protocol). Application can be used as a client to any remote or local INDI server with any supported telescope mount and it can also control EQMac application over TCP/IP connection and LX protocol or any Meade or Synta (e.g. Celestron or SkyWatcher) mount with SkyFi network controller.
