The LX200 Control class provides low level access to the LX200 command set. Both LX200 classic telescopes and Autostar based telescopes are supported. classic telescopes and LX200 Autostar-based telescopes handle and process the command set. Therefore, whenever such a difference arises, a case-specifc explanation is provided. LX200 Command Set reference.
