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

SoundStepper is a "100% software" telescope controller, for Windows, using audio hardware to control step motors at real time. All it requires to operate are external step motor drives, which can be a commercial "pulse/direction" drive or analog current amplifiers. Documentation: http://soundstepper.sourceforge.net/

Videoguide allows you to correct star position in case of bad guiding system of telescope. Here is software for videoguide, hardware part consists of PIC-ruled step motors, which tilt a glass plate, correcting by this tilt position of a star or other object. The guiding object is selected by operator in a part of video from gude's CCD-camera. Selected area can be preprocessing by wavelet-filter or median filter and/or histogram equalisation.

This is a attempt for simple hardware emulator of Celestron's NexStar Telescope mounts. The emulator is based on MCUs like PIC18F2550 from Microchip Technology Inc.
