Hi , its not as difficult as you think.

A cable purchased from any astronomy shop/site for a few pounds connects to your handset and to your computer.

Then you need software that allows telescope connection such as starrynight and then the planitarium software can be used to operate telescope.

you can even set your scope to use wireless gamepads such as xbox controller.

try it its not as bad as you think

Cheers teaman.

im not as brave as I used to be (don't like the cold)

even fitted a night heater in the van.

so the idea of sitting on my camp bed in the warm with a brew.

While observing sounds good
