open pectool

We have hosted the application open pectool in order to run this application in our online workstations with Wine or directly.

Quick description about open pectool:

This is clone of the Celestron PECTool used to upload, download and manipulate PEC data. It is intended to work with Celestron Nexstar mounts like NexStar GPS, NexStar GPS-SA, NexStar iSeries, NexStar SE Series, NexStar GT, Advanced-VX, Advanced-GT and CGE mounts.

Communication to the hand control is 9600 bits/sec, no parity and one
stop bit via the RS-232 port on the base of the hand control.

To build it libnexstar version 0.11 or newer is needed, which can be found here: https: //sourceforge.net/projects/libnexstar/
