Controlling the telescope

The major features of the next version will be its control desk and the separate control pulpit. Here's the control desk. Its layout is pretty much finalized, although its functionality hasn't been fully implemented. Maybe one more display dial will be added if I can decipher the blurry picture. All the switches go up and down or 'round about, but I need to finalize the details of what some of them cause to happen. Switch action is simulated by clicking on labels -- they're implemented as if they were radio buttons.
