AlpacaPi
SkyTravel Planetarium
|
SkyTravel is the part of the AlpacaPi suite of software. It allows full control of an Alpaca based
observatory. Specifically you can control the dome, cameras, focusers, telescope mount, switches,
all from the same program. It does NOT REQUIRE that you use SkyTravel for all of these devices.
SkyTravel implements all of the client interfaces described in the Client Apps section.
It uses the Alpaca Discovery protocol to find all of the devices on your network that speak Alpaca and then
gives you quick access to them.
