Google Sky and telescope control?

09/03/07 10:47 AM

Does anyone think Google Earth could ever be used to control telescopes? Maybe they could implement the ASCOM driver interface

that would be so cool! Right now I have a telescope and I want to control it with my computer, but Starry Night Pro costs so much!

Is KML enough to script this functionality? Or would this need more?
