Derek,
Since there are moving parts involved this would probably fall under the Machinery Directive which would suggest EN 60204-1 as a generic standard for the telescope, and EN 61010-1 for the electronic control system. A risk assessment would also need to be carried out as appropriate for all aspects of the product. For EMC the generic immunity standard (EN 61000-6-2) and generic emissions standard (EN 61000-6-4) would be most applicable. If it is intended specifically for the professional user, then it does not come into scope of RoHS 2 until 2017, but if it is also intended for use by non-professionals, then RoHS 2 compliance is mandatory in 2014.

What might that come under? Looking around the CEN site I don't see anything.
