Designed to be the ultimate platform for remote digital astronomy with your Meade LX200GPS, Autostar Suite contains tools for dome controls, weather sensors, and other functions required for this purpose. Connecting to the telescope and dome can be done with a single network connection. You can then communicate via an IP address, using AutoStar Net Scope to control the entire observatory over the Internet! This solves the biggest problem in setting up for remote access to your telescope, and that is the problem of distance from the scope itself. You can be in your living room to control the scope in your backyard, or just as easily, control a friend's system in another country!. In addition to these functions, Autostar Suite offers still more, like building custom tours for the Autostar Controller, keeping observing logs, camera controls for the LPI and Meade's Pictor CCD systems for imaging and autoguiding, and image processing with a blink comparitor to aid in discovery work. And to keep your Autostar current, Autostar Update will upload the latest comets, minor planets, satellites, tours, and firmware over the Internet.
