  1. Initial release of Alluna TCS2 Driver

    The Telescope-Control-System TCS of ALLUNA Optics, has been designed
    for the remote control of high-quality telescopes. Alluna Optics 
    provides only ASCOM drivers and a Windows EXE program to control the 
    TCS2 Device. The TCS2 can also be controlled by an optional handheld 
    device. 
    
    The indi driver has been developed by me, Peter Englmaier, and I am 
    not affiliated with Alluna Optics, but own a small Alluna Telescope 
    and want to use it with Ekos and other indi software.
    
    With TCS several telescope functions are controlled and monitored:
    - Air conditioning of the optical tube and the main mirror
      i.e., primary/secondary mirror heating and ventilation
    - Temperature of ambient (focuser), primary and secondary mirror
    - Focusing of the optics
    - Control of the optionally available CCD Rotator
    - Control of the optionally available robotic Dust Cover
    - Setting configuration parameters
    
    As I do not have the rotator option, I have not (yet) implemented that 
    part. Also some less useful functions are still missing. 
    
    But it is possible, to use the focuser with ekos, control the dust 
    cover, and the climate settings.
