Is anybody into astronomy on FreeBSD? I'd love to hook up a telescope to my FreeBSD laptop and use some software to control it while we look at stars on the monitor, zoom in, and the scope moves. This would be fun taking to local astronomy groups as well as conferences :-) Any advice welcome! If anybody has a working setup, I'd love to hear details such as the brand/model of scope and the software that you're using on FreeBSD. Thanks! -matt
