Hey, are you an Amateur Astronomer with a 3d printer and/or laser cutter? If so looks like your dreams have come true.

I got a telescope,but I don’t understand how this stuff works!
Only one axis! And good idea of this one is ,use 3axis sensor of phone!

I believe the phone is the camera and uses arduino + shield for alt/az movement.

Too bad its windows based, and windows phone based. Who owns Windows Phone except for MS employees?

True, but being open-source it will expand to other formats. I’m thinking R.Pi, B.Bone will be popular ones.
