+The tracking software used depends upon the tracking mount.
+
+See section \ref{sec:hardware-tracking-ground-station},
+page \pageref{sec:hardware-tracking-ground-station}
+for discussion of hardware tracking mounts.
+
+For our uses here, there are three broad categories of tracking
+software:
+
+\begin{mdframed}[backgroundcolor=blue!10,linecolor=blue!30]
+\begin{description}
+        \item [Telescope] --- Controlling \glspl{telescope} remotely.
+        \item [Antenna] --- Controlling \glspl{antenna} remotely with hamlib.
+        \item [Cameras] --- Controlling PTZ cameras remotely.
+\end{description}
+\end{mdframed}
+\index{telescope}\index{antenna}

+\subsection{Telescope Tracking Software}
+Software that can be used with telescope tracking mounts:
+
+\begin{mdframed}[backgroundcolor=blue!10,linecolor=blue!30]
+\begin{description}
+        \item [INDI] --- Main client/server used by other applications.
+        \item [KStars] --- Sky charts, INDI control.
+	\item [Ekos] --- Application used within KStars for remote control
+         of telescopes and related hardware via \gls{INDI}.
+        \item [Stellarium] --- Sky charts, has \gls{INDI} plugin.
+	\item [Other INDI] --- Many more applications work with \gls{INDI}.
+	\item [INDIGO] --- Positions itself as a next-generation INDI (?).

+Using \gls{INDI} with KStars and Ekos on a Sky-Watcher or Celestron
+telescope mount is a known working solution.

+\subsection{Antenna Tracking Software}
+At present, for the \gls{SatNOGS} network \gls{RF} \glspl{ground-station},
+hamlib is typically used for tracking, if directional \glspl{antenna} are
+used. Hamlib was originally created for amateur radio equipment, but has
+expanded to control many more devices.
+\index{hamlib}\index{antenna}\index{RF}\index{amateur radio}

+\begin{mdframed}[backgroundcolor=blue!10,linecolor=blue!30]
+\begin{description}
+	\item [hamlib] --- \Gls{antenna} \gls{rotator} control.
+\end{description}
+\end{mdframed}
+
+I don't know of anyone prototying a satellite tracking mount with hamlib,
+but it should be possible using the ``leap frog'' method, perhaps on the
+same mount as existing \gls{SatNOGS} \glspl{antenna}. The mount may not
+be steady enough.
+
+
+\subsection{Camera Tracking Software}
+There are applications for using PTZ control of cameras, such as used in
+``security'' cameras.
+
+\begin{mdframed}[backgroundcolor=blue!10,linecolor=blue!30]
+\begin{description}

+\end{description}
+\end{mdframed}

+I don't know of any of these being used in satellite tracking prototypes
+at present.
