Abstract
FocusGEO is a new generation of geostationary orbit dynamic monitoring system developed by Shanghai Observatory, it lacks the standard hardware underlying driver compared to most commercially available astronomical telescopes, thus it cannot support the design and development of Linux-based RTS2 or Windows-based ASCOM fully automated software system. The research team developed a set of Windows-based software systems for the special needs of geosynchronous orbit dynamic monitoring optical system (FocusGEO), which can realize telescope automatic observation, data real-time processing, data transmission and data management process. In this article, the system implementation framework and the overall process for the GEO dynamic monitoring telescope is introduced, focusing on on the method of real-time image conversion and transmission, real-time data processing and storage of the realization. The software system is stable and reliable, which can provide reference for the development of automatic control software for non-universal telescope system.
