That's a monster to what I have nowadays. I have a 6 inch f/5 Newtonian #richfield, and this 5 inch Celestron #NexStar5SE.

Thanks for the detail. Let me think on that.
I do have a #NexStar5SE that I believe can be controlled via rs/232. I can conceive of a clumsy, crude approximation of what you have there. A laptop with simple pass through coordinates through rs/232 that (via wifi) is commended by a laptop in my warm and toasty home.
As it happens, I have two aging laptops.
A younger version of myself might replace the outdoor laptop with an #Arduino or #RaspberryPI.
