ScopeDriver and DarkAdapted

The following is not an endorsement, but is for your information only.

If you use a computer to control your telescope (limited to specific scopes at the present time) or use a laptop computer in conjunction with your telescope out in the field, you may wish to check out the following web sites:

ScopeDriver (shareware) allows you to connect your computer to one of the following telescopes:

• Meade Autostar with RS-232 serial port;
• Meade LX200 (including LX200 GPS);
• Losmandy Gemini Level 1 or Level 3;
• Any telescope compatible with Autostar, LX200 or Gemini command set.
• Celestron software yet to be developed.

DarkAdapted (free) is a gamma control application program. It modifies your screen gamma settings so that you may, for example, preserve your dark adaptation while using your computer. High-resolution sliders allow you to adjust red, green, and blue video components individually and in real time.
