[Kstars-devel] Dear developers

[Jason Harris]

Hello Santiago, 

Greetings, and thanks for your interest in KStars.  Are you aware that the 
latest development version of KStars already includes full-featured telescope 
control?  See this webpage for a look at the documentation (with 
screenshots):  http://docs.kde.org/en/HEAD/kdeedu/kstars/indi.html

Look especially at the first page; if your hardware is listed there, then all 
you will need to do is download our latest code, and you will be able to 
control your telescope with KStars.  If your hardware is not yet supported, 
perhaps we can work together to write the necessary code for it.

You can find instructions for getting the latest development code here:
http://edu.kde.org/kstars/cvs.php

It sounds like our telescope control feature does exactly what you are asking 
about, but if you need to write your own control software as a University 
project, then please feel free to use KStars as the foundation (if you 
redistribute the code, you will need to follow the terms of the GPL, of 
course).

I am not sure how one would interface between our program and Tcl/Tk code, 
however.  I am sure it is possible, I just do not know how to do it.

Good luck, and feel free to write back with further questions.

Jason

PS- your English was just fine :)
