Physical connection to existing DSC cabling.
Existing DSC cables connected directly to Android device (RS232-toUSB\microUSB) for direct physical input; phone\tablet then acts as current astro computers like those from Lumicon and JMI without needing to add a bluetooth transmitter to existing DSC setup.

Magnetic interference level indicator
sort of like the metal detector app in the market but perhaps more sensitive and a number value for the interference level. It should be an option from the menu inside the app. It will aid not only in choosing a mounting location for a device but also for scope location choice. it will give users a good idea of the amount of magnetic interference in a chosen observing location.
15 votesSkEye now shows a little warning message when the magnetic field strength is abnormal.
Need to now implement a “meter” as suggested in the idea.

lavadip.com/media/dscIntro.pdfPlease tell me which DSC board do you have?
I currently plan to support the following bluetooth boards:
- Craig Combe’s Bluetooth board (which is a modification of David Ek’s serial board)
- BETI by AstroDevices
If you know of any other Bluetooth boards, or serial boards with a Bluetooth adapter, please let me know.
