This module will mark the current position of your telescope in AllSky images. Each time the module starts it will refresh the current telescope postion allowing to track your observing conditions in real time.
It does require ASCOM Remote Server with a connected telescope to retrieve the alt/az from If you wish to test you can setup a simulated ASCOM telescope in the remote server or define a fallback location for your telescope (ASCOM Remote Server not accessible or response is not a valid JSON object).
For details how to setup ASCOM Remote server and API documenation see: ASCOM Remote Server ASCOM Alpaca Device API
