The DarkLight Cover/Calibrator (DLC) is a DIY project to build a motorized telescope cover, flat panel, or a combination flip-flat system. Its modular design supports various setups: a 12V light panel without a servo for a wall-mounted calibration panel, a servo-only cover for sky flats, or both integrated into a flip-flat mechanism. The DLC also includes optional dew heating to reduce extra equipment and cabling. With available drivers, it works with ASCOM or INDI. We’re excited to...

INDI is an instrument neutral distributed interface control protocol that aims to provide backend driver support and automation for a wide range of Astronomical devices (telescopes, focusers, CCDs..etc). Project migrated to Github: https://github.com/indilib/indi

This driver allows to connect OpenCV videoCapture devices (cameras or avi files) as INDI CCD devices. In addition to standard CCD features, it supports streaming with stream rate division, together with a real-time histogram display. It also proposes simultaneous AVI recording at full FPS using available codecs. Record file names may be dynamically generated.

This project is no longer under active development. It has been superceded by the alignment subsystem which is now part of the main INDI project. This project provides an "alignment layer" driver to sit above INDI telescope drivers. This layer performs transformation services for telescope coordinates as they pass up and down to the underlying driver. The conversion matrices are computed from alignment datums passed down into the alignment layer. The N point alignment model can be used for both equatorial and alt azimuth mounts. ...

...It can directly drive Skywatcher and similar mounts through a serial port after a conversion of signal levels (see EQDIRECT interface), or any other mount hardware which uses this protocol. This project is similar in its goal to the EQMOD/EQASCOM project, but for the Linux/INDI world. Thus the name of the INDI device is "EQMod Mount", and the driver executable is indi_eqmod_telescope. ***** Refer to the libindi library ***** The driver is now included in the libindi library as a 3rd party driver (indi-eqmod).

Drivers and applications for the range of Scientific CCD cameras produced by Apogee Instruments Inc. Both ISA and Parallel interfaces are supported. A high level library and GUI are provided for Astronomical applications.

A c++ user-mode Linux driver for the Boltwood Cloud Sensor II (a weather station designed for astronomers).

libscmodcam provides an easy way for Linux applications to capture long-exposure frames from a Philips USB webcam (if it is supported by the PWC kernel driver). Currently only the SC1 modification and the C++ language are supported.

Source code and diagrams for a dual focuser motor controller for a telescope. Includes source for an ASCOM driver that interfaces with the controller.

...As of now, there is an "handcontroller" GUI application (Pad), which includes the use of a joypad device, and a helper for polar aligning an equatorial mount (Polar Align). Besides a small catalog browser/reader (Catalogs), and a more specific Align Viewer GUI application aimed at displaying current alignment data for the EQMod INDI driver.
