It looks as if this system is best controlled (maybe only
controllable) through an ASCOM driver. There is some description
of that driver at

http://www.siderealtechnology.com/page3.html

and it sounds as if even if the scope would respond directly
to Meade or Celestron commands over a serial port (no mention is
made of such a capability), the ASCOM driver for this scope would
be a better way to go anyway.

You're right, by the way, that this does sound like a really
good system that may get a lot of use.
