Hi, this is awesome!!
 I'm currently working in something similar, but I am having problems with 
getting data from the CCD (basically i don't know how to do it :), can you 
give me a tip for doing this? Or explain how you did it please?
I not a newbie at python but not as experienced as evidently you are.
Thanks a lot in advance.
