I have been out of town, or I would have posted again sooner, but I checked out INDI alignment subsystem, and this really seems like overkill for what I'm trying to do. Perhaps I misunderstand what INDI does.

I was under the impression that I could write a driver which takes altitude and azimuth coordinates as input. Along with GPS position and elevation, I can input RA and DEC into KSTARS, and INDI converts this into altitude and azimuth coordinates and gives it to my driver which turns the motors. Am I mistaken? If INDI telescope protocol does not do this, what in fact does it do? I'm a little confused.
