Field notes

The site draws a clear line between observing software that displays the sky and software that acts on telescope equipment. Its package model calls out permission differences, including mount movement versus file reading, and says packages include tests and signatures. The catalog content was not visible in the captured page, so the package offering and operating capabilities remain unverified here.
