Moving forward :)

Well all has been a little quiet - I blame the end of the contract and possibly the new gf..

However now have a new laptop winging it's way to me to replaced my dodo, along with a new job and a offer of help developing AOSX!

I'm spending this week merging the AOSX versions together before I put the code up on the repository and we start pushing forward with development.

I've spent time looking through EQMOD and although we don't have access to the EQ control DLL sources, it should be straight forward to get EQMOD or equivalent functionality ontop of AOSX.

It's also come to my attention that Skywatcher are creating a PC interface to allow PC apps using Python to control their mounts. This is more of a curse than a blessing for software controlling the mounts as it complicates things when the normal user is never going to script python (not this doesn't have PEC or alignment capabilities) and application developers are not wanting play silly-bs (EQMOD needs stepper motor access to provide better PEC - this library hides this!).

It doesn't help that the SW API is written in closed C#.. making it PC only.
