Artwork Theme
by Michaël Ughetto 27 Dec '07

27 Dec '07

Hi everyone, I think it would be a good idea to get a specific theme for the Astronomy Spin. I browse through the work made for the F8 and I found this one : http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F8theme-moon He's cool and i think it's a good representation of what are our goals : Open your laptop, Boot Fedora Astronomy, Enjoy the sky. What do you think about this ? Should we discuss this tomorrow ? Regards, Michaël -- 0x8ECBA2A4 2007-10-18 Michael Ughetto (Telimektar) <telimektar1er(a)gmail.com> || <telimektar(a)esraonline.com>

Re: Apogee CCD drivers
by The Random Factory 27 Dec '07

27 Dec '07

HI All, I maintain the Apogee Linux (and OS X) drivers for Apogee's range of ccd cameras. The drivers are GPL'd open source and the latest versions do not require kernel modules. I also sell an SDK on cd with a bunch of pre-compiled Astronomy packages to help develop your own apps. I am looking at better integration with INDI/Kstars (so many projects , so little time!).. See http://www.randomfactory.com/ Cheers, Dave Mills -- ================================== P.O.

What is out there for CCD control?
by Jef Spaleta 18 Dec '07

18 Dec '07

Good Morning Campers! I've been looking into small-scale optical observatory automation using linux. Is there anything out there in terms of astronomical CCD control that we could actually put into fedora? If it requires a kernel driver, or a proprietary library then we can't include it. I'd like to be able to get to a point where we could specific a specific off-the-shelf hardware setup for an automated observatory that we could have a Fedora based system work with out of the box. A telescope, and CCD camera being the primary things we need to support. Telescopes I know we can support already out of the box, I've done it with Stellarium with a low-end Meade.. but all the off-the-shelf astronomical CCDs I've looked at seem to need something we can't easily ship as part of Fedora, either out of tree kernel modules or proprietary libraries. Is anyone out have a working CCD control setup through Kstars or other program that is not making use of bits we can't ship? Reading over the Kstars documentation its unclear if the usb Apogee CCDs require additional drivers or not. -jef
