Description:
That is the first telescope with equatorial mount i made.
You can use pitch and roll sliders to control the orientation of a telescope and yaw slider to control the zoom.
You can deploy SM7 and control it manually or select a target, SM7 will point at it automatically.
AGs:
1.Setup/deployment of a telescope
2.Clock drive
3.Polar/normal telescope alignment (use the mount as equatorial or azimutal)
4.Default/alternative telescope pointing algorithm
How to use it:
Place SM7 where you need and press AG1.
After that in case you are going to observe stars or distant objects (if their movement isn't visible) then it will be better to press AG2 only.
In another cases (observing surrounding terrain, tracking satellites) it will be necessary to disable AG2 and enable AG4 (AG3 just aligns the SM7's axis with "polar vector" or with "surface normal vector").
Hope you will enjoy SM7 180/800!

@TheVizzyLucky you can use vizzy variable in input if you write this:
<name of the part, where the vizzy program is>.FlightProgram.<variable name>you also can check rotators of sm7

How did you manage to make variables control the zoom? I've seen this a few times now, but I couldn't figure out how to make it work yet.
