Hi!
Is anybody into astronomy on FreeBSD? I'd love to hook up a
telescope to my FreeBSD laptop and use some software to control it
while we look at stars on the monitor, zoom in, and the scope moves.
This would be fun taking to local astronomy groups as well as
conferences :-)
Any advice welcome! If anybody has a working setup, I'd love to hear
details such as the brand/model of scope and the software that
you're using on FreeBSD.
Thanks!

cd /usr/ports/astro/xephem && make maintainer
*cough*
The makers of xephem also created a protocol called INDI that allows
xephem to control hardware. They have drivers for Meade, Celestron,
and Takahasi telescopes.
Thanks,
Josh Paetzel
