Have released version 6.0 of DSC Test. It supports N-star alignment. Please give it a try. A tutorial is available here:
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.

Hi Harshad, I'm developing two versions of DSCs for my dob. The first one is partly based on your concept of using Accelerometer/Gyro board mounted on OTA and a digital compass mounted on wooden base (less magnetic interference). The sensors are connected to an Arduino board with HC-05 bluetooth-to-serial adapter. Now I'm able to reliably get Alt/Az positions but calculating RA/DEC from them requires lot more calculations that are best left with devices such as android smartphones. Can you help me out in integrating them in Skeye?
Hi Harshad, I tested out your DSC app with my Arduino based DSC using 2048 CPR (8192 PPR) encoders. I'm using BBox/SkySafari protocol and is working with SkySafari as well as your DSC app. As for your app, I'm able to reliably get encoder counts but haven't actually mounted and aligned. Will try and post the result.
