-AstroEQ Arduino code. Hardware schematics to follow
+AstroEQ Arduino code, and Hardware schematics.
+
+AstroEQ is written and Designed by Thomas Carpenter 2012.
+With thanks Chris over at the EQMOD Yahoo group for help communicating with EQMOD.
+
+AstroEQ is an alternative to the expensive SynScan upgrade. The project acts as a gateway to connect the EQMOD Software (and hence ASCOM planetariums) to a motorised Equatorial mount that lacks Goto functionality.
 
 As of current, I have got the firmware tracking at the correct speed.
 It should work with most EQ mounts, including ones with custom gearing and custom stepper motors.
