[Feature Request] Please add INDIGO and INDI support

As already requested in 2018, here another try: please add support for INDIGO and INDI in SkySafari MacOS and Starry Night. 
You already support ASCOM withIn Starry Night, I can‘t see a reason why not support the standards of MacOS/Linux?

All the best,

Oliver

    Hi, thank you for your suggestion.  It has been made before and we are considering it seriously for a future update.  It is important for us that SkySafari supports broad telescope control standards and frameworks.  Pedro.

    "It is important for us that SkySafari supports broad telescope control standards and frameworks."

    So, let's go beyond consideration.

    It has always surprised me that INDI is not already supported. Supporting INDI opens a vast number of additional drivers through INDI (and INDI is free, distributed (and RPi's are cheap for remote control, etc.), well maintained, well supported, etc.). I can't understand why it's never been included (KStars does not really compete with SkySafari, it's the EKOS that is so useful.

    Yes, +1. Please, add INDIGO support. The CloudMakers would help you, I am sure of it. INDIGO is macOS based and runs natively on Apple Silicon. While INDIGO accepts INDI clients, like SkySafari, it is not an INDIGO native connection/driver and hence might not take full advantage of the very stable software bus in INDIGO (TBC with Peter and Rumen from INDIGO).

    Wilfried,

    INDI is already supported.  So, please clarify this request.  How is INDIGO support going to be substantially different?  Thanks!
