SkyGuide / SkyGuard can be automatically launched, controlled and shutdown by ACP Observatory Control Software.


To realized the integration of SkyGuide / SkyGuard with ACP Observatory Control Software our API can be invoked from the ACP Startup & Shutdown scripts.


To provide you with some example, we wrote four samples scripts :
