Someone that I know wrote this app. Maybe it will be usefull for someone here too

INFO:

Guide your telescope from your Android device!
StarsPi will connect to your Raspberry Pi via WiFi and:
- continuously download the guider camera image for frame and focus
- let you select the guide star
- calibrate the guider camera image with the desired number of frames
- calibrate the directions of the guiding system
- set guiding rate (all popular guide rates supported)
- fine tune the parameters of the guiding algorithm
- display the drift data of each axis
- more to come...

StarsPi uses the 3.1 version of Lin-guider to achieve the guiding.

Note: in order to use the application, your Raspberry Pi needs to run a modified version of Lin-guider. Installation notes and details can be found on starspi.com.

The newest version of StarsPi is available on Google Play. It adds two new features: DSLR camera control and dithering.
The modified Lin-guider package also needs to be updated: link.
The DSLR camera should be connected to the RPI via USB cable, all newer Canon EOS cameras are supported (more to come).
