Idea StarGo, Stellarium and Mac

Hi all,
let me share a way to make Stellarium work with StagGo on a MacOS machine. This comes after a bit of struggling and the Stellarium INDIGO integration performed by R. Bogdanovsky, one of the authors of the INDIGO platform .
This has been tested by myself using the current Stellarium Beta 0.19.3.17733 and INDIGO server ver. 3.12 (505) but should work also with any **very** recent version of each of them.

Here it is assumed that both INDIGO server and Stellarium are running on the same machine. In alternative, you just need to properly configure the network parameters in Stellarium telescope configuration panel.

1. First step is software installation. Packages can be downloaded from INDIGO downloads and Stellarium Beta
2. Launch INDIGO Server
3. Choose the proper serial device to which the mount is connected and change the mount status to Connected in Main menu
4. Go to Mount menu, select On coordinates set and set it to Sync to target
5. Go to Equatorial coordinates menu and select a star close to Equator and local meridian and click Set. This will perform the first Sync with the mount.
6. Go back to Mount menu, select On coordinates set and revert the value to Slew target and track
7. Time to launch Stellarium, activate the Telescope Control plugin and restart Stellarium
8. Open the Telescope Control Panel and click on Configure Telescopes
9. Now select Add and fill all the parameters. Take care to select INDI/INDIGO type of connection and click Refresh devices... to get all the current available devices, as seen by the server
10. Close the Add new Telescope panel and go back to Telescope Control Panel. Here you should find a row with the just configured connection
11. Hit Connect, wait for the status to change to Connected and...have fun!

Hope this helps
