Hi Greg,
Thank you for your thoughts on it. I can confirm a success with just using the az-gti goto mount with the « luminos » app.
The mount follows smoothly in real time any amateur satellites I tried.
I did not have to interface any plugin. The az-gti works with Synscan pro and it creates a server for 3rd party apps that wants to connect to the mount.

Not sure about that mount in particular, but it's definitely been done. It's going to be moving in spurts, so not good for visual tracking, but an antenna won't care. The Elk antenna (I have one) doesn't have a particularly sharp beam pattern, so you really don't need any sort of precision.
There's a plug-in for Hamlib, I think, to interface to many of the telescope mounts. If you can get the software to talk, might as well give it a try.
