Using Chimera you can easily control telescopes, CCD cameras,\nfocusers and domes in a very integrated way.\n\n**Distributed**\n Fully distributed system. You can use different machines to\n control each instrument and everything will looks like just one.\n\n**Powerful**\n Very powerful autonomous mode. Give a target and exposure parameters\n and Chimera does the rest.\n\n**Web interface**\n Web interface to schedule and monitor observations (`in development`).\n\n**Hardware support**\n Support for most common off-the-shelf components. See `supported\n devices`_.\n\n Very easy to add support for new instruments (it's Python code!).\n\n**Flexible**\n Chimera can be used in a very integrated mode but also in standalone\n mode to control just one instrument.\n\n**Free**\n It's free (as in *free beer*) and written in a very modern\n language. Python!.\n\nGetting start\n-------------\n\nTo try out Chimera, follow the installation instructions and make sure\nthat you have at least one `supported devices`_.\n\nThe easiest way to install Chimera is to use `easy_install\n`_::\n\n sudo easy_install chimera-python\n\n... and that's it! All dependencies are automagically installed.\n\nYou can also download the sources at `Chimera Development page\n`_ and try to install it *by hands*.\n\n\nHelp and Development\n--------------------\n\nYou can help Chimera development, we are always looking for\ncontributors. If you don't write code, no problem! You can write\ndocumentation, help with this site, marketing. Everyone can help!\n\nSee our `Development `_ page for\nmore information, to report a bug or just follow Chimera's development\nclosely.\n\n.. _supported_devices:\n\nSupported Devices\n-----------------\n\n**Telescopes**\n `Meade `_ based LX-200 (Meade, Losmandy).\n\n `Paramount ME `_ using TheSky COM+ interfaces.\n\n**CCD Cameras**\n `SBIG `_ USB cameras.\n\n**Focusers**\n `OPTEC `_ NGF-S\n\n**Domes**\n COTE/LNA Dome (`LNA `_ specific).\n\n\nIn Development \n^^^^^^^^^^^^^^\n\n**CCD Cameras**\n `Apogee `_ USB/Ethernet cameras.\n\n.. note::\n If you need support for any device which Chimera's doesn't\n support, call us and we can try to develop it or help you to do it.\n\nLicense\n-------\n\nChimera is Free/Open Software licensed by `GPL v2\n`_ or later (at your choice).\n\n\nAuthors\n-------\n\nChimera is mainly developed by Paulo Henrique Silva\n at `Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina\n`_ in collaboration with his advisor Antonio\nKanaan.\n\nChimera is sponsored by `Laboratorio Nacional de Astrofisica\n`_ through a `CNPq `_ grant.", "description_content_type": null, "docs_url": null, "download_url": "http://chimera.googlecode.com/svn/trunk#egg=chimera-dev", "downloads": { "last_day": -1, "last_month": -1, "last_week": -1 }, "home_page": "http://chimera.sf.net", "keywords": null, "license": "GPLv2", "maintainer": null, "maintainer_email": null, "name": "chimera-python", "package_url": "https://pypi.org/project/chimera-python/", "platform": "GNU/Linux", "project_url": "https://pypi.org/project/chimera-python/", "project_urls": { "Download": "http://chimera.googlecode.com/svn/trunk#egg=chimera-dev", "Homepage": "http://chimera.sf.net" }, "release_url": "https://pypi.org/project/chimera-python/0.1/", "requires_dist": null, "requires_python": null, "summary": "Chimera -
