Raquette/Joystick Goto Merop

What is Merop ?

Merop is a wireless autonomous Goto joystick. The whole conception of this project is the work of the Astrimage team, and is one of the main projects of Astrimage in order to provide a whole set of tools dedicated to digital astrophotography in the "Do it yourself" spririt. As other projects in the association, Merop is developped in an industrial way of project management, but offers the possibility to the amateur to build it, and in a close future to buy it in a "out of the box" version at a very competitive price for those of us who don't feel the power to build it by themselves :-D. Main features are: Merop is fully compatible with any LX200 protocol enabled mount, and implements special features for the Pic-Astro Goto/MicroStep equatorial driving box .
