Is there any documentation about the serial communication for the focuser support in SF6? I built my own digital setting circles using an ESP32 board (arduino) and 2 encoders and when SF is requesting the position, it sends "Q" to the DSC and expects back the encoder ticks for azimuth, a dash and then the encoder ticks for altitude, like this: "1253-452". Similarly, Is there any documentation for serial communication for the focuser?

  Florin, 

  This is something that may be more transparent with SkySafari 7, ETA end of year.

  Thanks!
