Hello Marc,

There are no plans to support the Meade LPI, if someone would like to write 
an INDI Driver for the Meade LPI, I'd be more than happy to help in that 
process. As far as the philips webcam, I don't think any "normal" webcam can 
open the shutter for more than 1 second. There are modded webcams, but there 
is no support for them yet.

As far as CCD, we have drivers for Finger Lakes Instruments CCDs. Though I 
can't say they're cheap :)

I'll add that to my TODO :)

Thanks. I'll let you know if I need any testing.

Clear skies,
