A pure python3 implementation of skywatcher synscan motor protocol. Tested on SkyWatcher AZ-GTI mount and open-synscan project (https://github.com/vsirvent/Open-Synscan)
SkyWatcher made some of their code public in (https://github.com/skywatcher-pacific/skywatcher_open) even a C# !WinForm python interpreter application exist. See (https://code.google.com/archive/p/skywatcher/wikis/Programmable.wiki) but, been a special interpreter, python integration is limited. This project try to fill this gap.
