Anyone used or seen a Blue Tooth system being used on a mount yet?

For the uninitiated, Blue Tooth allows you to control your mount wirelessly.

I guess if you have heaps of cables Blue Tooth would be worth while looking into. I don't have that much trouble with cables yet that I would buy one of these systems.

Blue tooth would be good for people who have permanent astrophotography setups at home and would rather image from their lounge rooms than their domes. :lmao:

Would be handy for those freezing cold nights. Sitting in the car or house instead.

I think blue tooth would be most handy for astronomers that do tours. At least if you have heaps of people standing around you can slew the scope and do all kinds of remote control without worrying about cables.
