Remote system sends \r i.e. carriage return (control m).
Response is RA and Dec in the following format -
_12.234_+67.890NULL (where _ represents space and NULL is null char)
Remote system sends O
Response is Altitude (elevation) and Azimuth offsets to the 'guided' current object in units of
degrees. Format is eight raw bytes representing two floating-point values. The floating point
representation is Big-Endian with a exponent biased by 128. To convert to industry standard
IEEE Floating Point Format, divide the returned values by 4. The first four bytes are the
Altitude (elevation) offset where +=Go Up. The next four bytes are the Azimuth offset where
