DESCRIPTION

      KStars  allows you to configure and control astronomical instruments such as telescopes and focusers via the INDI
      protocol. indiserver is a server that sits between the KStars user interface and the low-level hardware  drivers.
 
      The  INDI  server is a network server, int hat either local or remote clients may connect to it to control astro-
      nomical instruments. The INDI server must be running on the machine that is physically connected to the astronom-
      ical instruments.
 
             Note

             There  is usually no need to run the INDI server directly. Using the KStars device manager, you can set up
             astronomical instruments and start or stop the INDI server all from within KStars

      Much more detailed information is available in the KStars handbook, as described below.
 
      KStars is a graphical desktop planetarium for KDE, and forms part of the KDE edutainment module.
