1.There are several reasons one would want to control their telescope with a PC:
2.It is faster than using the hand controller.
3.It gives you a visual aid when searching for something hard to find.
4.If you find something unknown, the planetarium software will be able to identify it.
5.It is a necessity if you plan on imaging anything for longer than a single quick exposure.
It's wicked cool.
