Hey guys

I discovered the problem on this, basically the xml file does not list
the Sbig ccd, as part of the drivers. So I went down to the INDI servers
directory and modified the xml file to list the SBIG ccd. Now the
listing works and the ccd is controllable with Kstars.

 Jasem, one request is could you modify the source code to automatically
pop up the INDI control panel when any of the services are started?
Because right now it only auto-pops for the fli ccd, so I have to start
two services to get this done. If you don't find the time, let me know
what I need to do and I could help out

Happy to help :)
