PARot is a program for ultra fast and precise polar alignment of equatorial mounts. You can easily achieve alignment accuracy better than 1 arcmin in 5 minutes of time. You take one image of the celestial pole, rotate the mount around the RA axis and take another image. The program compares the images and shows you the necessary adjustment. The adjustment process is controlled by the live-liew created by your camera. Requirements: * A computer with Windows OS (tested with WinXP x64, Win7 x64, Win7 x86). * Maxim DL version 5. * A camera which can be controlled from MaxIm...

SoundStepper is a "100% software" telescope controller, for Windows, using audio hardware to control step motors at real time. All it requires to operate are external step motor drives, which can be a commercial "pulse/direction" drive or analog current amplifiers. Documentation: http://soundstepper.sourceforge.net/

EQAlign born as a software that assists to align a German Equatorial Mount (GEM) exactly to the Earth polar axis. Today, in adition to polar align feature, EQAlign is a full featured astronomical software.

The threeaxis project will provide support for controlling three axis telescope mounts. This includes documentation of pointing equations, a simulation of the mount's motion, and real-time control software.
