Automation of the TASCO telescope

The TASCO telescope is interfaced to a computer through a new base that is rigged with stepper motors. The accompanying software drives to stepper motors to automatically track and target the Sun, the 5 visible planets and the 100 brightest stars. Various astronomical coordinate system conventions a...
