+   for use on the distributed network.
+  \item Hardware --- Details on appropriate hardware configurations,
+   and example setups.
+  \item Software --- A look at the myriad software related to satellites,
+   and what works best at present for SatNOGS Optical.
+  \item Acquire --- Convert photons to bits. Pointing a camera at the
+   sky works.
+  \item Solve --- Pictures of stars reveal the time and location of
+   the photo. Plate solvers reviewed.
+  \item Detect --- The plate solver says where the photo is,
+   now detect if are there moving tracks that aren't stars that could
+   be satellites.
+  \item Identify --- With time, location, satellite detection, \glspl{TLE}
+   are overlaid and compared with detected satellites.
+   Satellite identification by computers and humans.
+  \item Upload --- When ready, data will be pushed to the SatNOGS network.
+  \item Support --- Where development is occurring and questions answered!

+Adding an optical network is a new development. At present there

+Some software already exists,

+There is software available for acquiring optical data of satellites.
+There is no facility at present for pushing data back to the network.
