The following is from Roland Christen at Astro-Physics as posted to S.A.A.:

------------------------

The software will accept Meade commands
and can subsequently control a Meade telescope from a PC. "Digital Sky
Voice" is a software package developed by Astro-Physics that allows the
user to control his telescope by voice commands (and/or mouse and keyboard
commands). The software is fully compatible with "The Sky" software and
other planetarium programs that use the Meade protocol. The software
package is available for $295 and can be used with any Meade or
Astro-Physics mount. Sorry, it will not support Celestron at this time
(they went with their own protocol instead of the Meade).
Our mountings can be computer controlled since they can now be purchased
with high speed servo drives.
