Perhaps this should be looked at: http://www.rts2.org/

I note that the AstroPhysics mounts (Some models) are supported along with “indi driver” mounts, Meade and Losmandy (we have all three types), as are Andor and Starlight Express CCDs. An impressive range of dome controllers, filter wheels, weather stations (including the Boltwood sensor which is the one we ought to have got …), and focusers are supported.

Perhaps worth trying this software on a simple Meade GOTO telescope?

Added later: Have now installed it and had a first look. Hmmm. Seems tricky 🙂
