Hi Everyone its Peter from ERAC Greetings !! I am in the proccess of writing 

a book about radio Astronomy technic as a result of having about every book 

ever published I realized that its all prity poor, Bob Sickles did a better 

job of it back then with his publications  but that was with the 

possibilities Bob had back then. I no longer live in Germany I live in 

Bangkok and work in China doing leading edge electronic projects for Industry 

and research  so part of my book has emerged as Telescope control the dream 

of writing only a few pages ha ha i was so stupid, in reality using modern 

extremely cheap Chinease drive electronics and motors with extremely cheap 

well designed System Gearboxes I have redesigned an affordable dual axis 

system.

The reason why I am contacting you is this, I want to hear your  requests on 

which standard we should use for the next generation Telescope control, as 

this will serve as the standard to remove the chaos to get something going 

that,s not many many roads to Rome but only for the ones who master software 

programming I am developing for my book a universal interface with some other 

solutions printed also. We have the opticians using thank goodness the ASCOM 

Standard And the ham radio People  using many many many island solutions with 

PST Rotor being for a bunch of them a standard platform. they use SPID 

Protocol. with Jim and Radio Eyes he is not replying to my emails so you are 

the next level of contact, is he ok ? if yes kind regards from me please. his 

solution is do what you want so here we are having to do that maybe with his 

TCPIP solution for remoting from the start infact this is looking in general 

the best idea but the telegram protocol not being standard is a bummer by 

everyone. So I am respectfully contacting you guys to get your requests into 

the conversation.

My book with 200 A4  pages so far their is still room for a hello SARA Exists 

page in ODF Format ans maybe a guest Article  You guys interested ?

German Publisher end of the year  first edition 15,000 copies intended at 

the Christmass present market.

Kind Regards Peter Wright Bangkok / Xingang

How about MQTT as a control protocol? -steve

I've been looking at MQTT. It is a message passing protocol between servers/clients, not a control program.
