KStars has a sky chart, as can be see in figure \ref{fig:kstars-skychart},
page \pageref{fig:kstars-skychart}.
When mount control is functioning, a location on the sky chart, such as a star,
can be clicked on and the mount will go to that location and optionally track it.
Using this, a telescope mount can be used to easily point the camera at a location
and track it to observe telescopes. It should also provide a superior \gls{FITS} file
for extracting data (XXX made up).
