CyeLoFi
Liberate your telescope
Versione italiana
CyeLoFi is an open source device that is used to remotely control your telescope GOTO mount.
By connecting wirelessly to a smartphone or a tablet, for example, you can control with a planetarium software the pointing system of your telescope and manage lists of objects.
From the PC you can alike control your instrument via an Ethernet network with the preferred planetarium software or through the ASCOM driver.
