I do see that my ap-1600 has the ability to be set in Alt-Az mode, I do have an application which needs this and was wondering if anybody wrote the software to control the mode in that setting, meaning adjusting the drive rate to get sideral tracking (yes, with field rotation).
Before I start having too much code writing this (I was thinking of having a mount emulator connected by tcp-ip to thesky and mapping the command to the real mount driver using the rs-232 command set) did anybody ever wrote this ?
Ok, looks like nobody has done this. I will opensource on github, kind of an interesting example on how to setup a proxy for the mount using Python.
