Tell-A-Scope

Python Library for Talking to Telescopes (and their components)

First order of business: Write interface for Meade LX200GPS

Layout:

core:

	Core componenets, serial interface and hardware interaction happen here

mantel:

	Abstracted core methods and classes that are usable to an end-user

astro:

	Various astronomical tools

virtual:

	Virutal hardware, things like auto-star II controller or custom telescope controllers

UI:

	User interface scripts/front end

Feel free to update this README with suggested changes to layout below:

  • Layout:

    • core:

      • telescope command set
      • telescope components (eyepieces, filters, cameras, etc)
      • telescope classes
    • mantel:

      • telescope classes (founded on core)
    • astro:

      • atmospheric data/corrections
      • object catalogs
      • telescope components (founded on core)
      • legacy object data access
      • stellarium interface?
    • virtual:

      • Autostar II Controller
      • Focuser Controller
    • UI:

      • curses UI
