An integrated system for astronomical telescope based on stellarium

Astronomical telescope is a powerful tool for star observation, but adjusting a telescope is time-consuming. For most of astronomy amateurs, their telescopes don´t have an intelligent system to ease the adjustment of telescope. Therefore, we propose an integrated system for astronomical telescope. The integrated system presents a friendly telescope control interface and provides functions including telescope monitoring, star targeting, star profile retrieval and star tracking. The most powerful feature of the integrated system is star tracking. By using camshift algorithm and PID controller, the star tracking module can help user track certain objects such as plant and comet.
