SkySafari to connect to INDI server and mount

Hello:

Skysafari is great; however, I am finding it of limited use in the field as my imaging gear and software is INDI based.

Please tell me when you can add support for INDI. I was speaking to INDI forum and they expressed the adding of INDI is easy.

Thank you,
Stephen

    We don't have plans to support INDI right now.  I keep evaluating it every so often but it has never seemed quite ready for prime time.  I will continue to monitor it.

    I'm joining in on asking for this. My imaging setup is indi based. An indi server along with PHD2 is running on a raspberry pi hooked up to the telescope, guide camera, and dslr.  I've also connected skysafari by making a serial <-> wifi bridge to an avx usb/serial connection. Skysafari alone works, great, or PHD2 works great using indi to control the mount, but they don't work together. To make this work without issue it would be best to have an indi option in skysafari.

    So I just was able to successfully connect skysafari to my AVX using indi. Someone has made a skysafari module. I'm not sure if I understand it quite right, but it looks like they made everything look like an LX200:) I was able to slew the scope all while indi is controlling the mount and guide camera, and PHD2 is running. https://indilib.org/devices/telescopes/skysafari.html
