Distant Suns Plugin Support

One of the major new  in Distant Suns  is the support of "plugins" which extend the functionality. Specifically, Distant Suns will allow 3rd party authors to create telescope control modules permitting Distant Suns to drive the latest computer controlled telescopes.

Watch this page for plugins as they become available.

If you are an aspiring author, then you may want to download the Plugin SDK from here. Distant Suns plugins will both accept the coordinates of the currently centered or "clicked on" objects, and will also be able to command DS to point to whatever object you are looking at in your telescope.

Announcements of new plugins will be made via the Distant Suns monthly newsletter.
