Hey! Just curious, what about satellite tracking? Lots of hoops we have to jump through using the Argo Navis to make that happen.

?At the moment just for slewing. Soon plate solve + sync as well. Since I implemented pulse guide, you could also attach a guider provided you do the calibration in PHD2. Both applications will be able to connect to the driver at the same time.

Future considerations:
  1. After we add video capture natively, use pulse guide to keep planetary bodies centered
  2. Track near earth bodies (comets, planets, asteroids) using custom tracking rates if that support is added to the firmware
  3. Perhaps a plugin for alignment, if that functionality is exposed in the firmware
