| Abstract: |
A new telescope control system, MSOTCS, is being written to support the remote control and automation functionality of the Siding Spring 2.3m telescope. Key features of MSOTCS include: the use of a proprietary telescope pointing/astrometry kernel called TCSpk; QNX6 as the operating system; the use of a central shared database for all astrometric, configuration and control system data; and the use of a publish and subscribe database for the telescope data required by multiple remote clients. MSOTCS takes the form of an embedded controller which communicates with external user interfaces via RPC. |
