A simple go interface for TheSkyX design to get status from camera or mount
gotsx is a simple CLI program using the JavaScript capability of Software Bisque's TheSkyX™ Professional. It could be used to get usefull informations to take decision in imaging sequencing software.
At Multiscale Detection, we successfully use gotsx to get status of the mount and camera when managing emergency situation. We mainly use it as an external program in our Voyager Astronomy™ dragscript sequencing software.
As far as we use cobra to code the CLI all command are self documented ;) there are 2 major command to get informations about mount roof and camera from theSkyX
