Astronomy and Computerised Telescopes

[David Fletcher]

I'm wondering, does anybody here use computer controlled telescopes with 
Linux?

I've always rather fancied having a telescope, and these days I could afford 
to buy the new Meade model which automatically aligns itself using a built in 
GPS receiver and digital sensor.

The potential problem is, that AIUI the controllers for these need to be 
updated for new comets, path changes of asteroids due to gravitational tugs 
from other objects they pass, etc. The Meade site only mentions support for 
Windows. So, does anybody use these instruments with Linux? If so how?

Thanks

Dave
