Controlling Celestron astro fi 6 schmidt-cassegrain using laptop

[Nickscope]

I have a Celestron Astro Fi 6 sct and want to use my mobile to take photos. Can you control the Telescope using a laptop, as the Skyportal app is for Ios or Android, or does it have to a tablet?

The Astro Fi 6 SCT is apparently intended for visual use, and you may be able to do planetary or lunar imaging with it, for which you will probably require a planetary camera and a  laptop running Windows 10 and Sharpcap, etc.  The Astro Fi mount on the other hand is meant to be controlled by a phone or tablet AFAIK.  If the mount accepts an optional Nexstar+ handset, then you could cable this to the laptop and control it all that way.  (Or just use the handset).

Thanks, that's the information I wanted.
