Telescope Control
(1995) “Microcomputer control” is now the only way to control telescopes using a computer. This book fills the gap in the books that are available on using personal computers in astronomical applications. It is primarily concerned with how to connect a non-standard computer peripheral device (a telescope) to a computer and how to program the computer to perform time-critical computations. This is only one example of the more general problem of real-time control, so if viewed in the larger context, this book should find an audience among those interested in any real-time control application, such as robotics. |
