This is clone of the Celestron PECTool used to upload, download and manipulate PEC data. It is intended to work with Celestron Nexstar mounts like NexStar GPS, NexStar GPS-SA, NexStar iSeries, NexStar SE Series, NexStar GT, Advanced-VX, Advanced-GT and CGE mounts.

Communication to the hand control is 9600 bits/sec, no parity and one
stop bit via the RS-232 port on the base of the hand control.

To build it libnexstar version 0.11 or newer is needed, which can be found here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/libnexstar/

Mac OSX binary is available here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/openpectool/files/prebuilt/openpectool-0.0.1.dmg/download

Features

  • Upload PEC data to the mount.
  • Download PEC data from the mount.
  • Save and Load data from file.
  • Data files are 100% compatible with Celestron PECTool
  • Record and Payback PEC data with visual marks for the starting and the current position.

    Very good Linux alternative to Celestron's PEC tool. Works perfectly, but I miss the averaging of periodic error data.
