Abstract

See full text

Wireless control systems and methods for adjusting the position and/or alignment of a telescope. In one example, a wireless handheld controller enables a user to adjust a corresponding telescope from a remote location. The controller preferably communicates motion commands via radio frequency to a transceiver coupled to the telescope. The transceiver may also communicate status information to the controller regarding the current position and/or alignment of the telescope. In certain embodiments, the controller and transceiver are assigned corresponding identification codes and/or operational frequencies to enable handshaking between the controller and the transceiver during wireless communication.
