.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
KStars allows you to configure
|
|
|
|
and control astronomical instruments such as telescopes and focusers via
|
|
|
|
the INDI protocol. \fBlx200autostar\fP is a device driver for supporting
|
|
|
|
particular types of external hardware.
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
You should normally not need to run this driver directly. Instead you
|
|
|
|
should use KStars to configure and operate your astronomical instruments.
|
|
|
|
Most operations can be found under the Devices menu within KStars.
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
KStars will start the INDI server internally, and the INDI server will
|
|
|
|
in turn start this device driver.
|
|
|
|

|
