On the advice of the people over at stargazerslounge.com, I have bought a Philips spc880 webcam and telescope adapter for astrophotography. It is only now that I have it and it does not seem to be recognised that I thought to check that those guys were using Linux. Of course all the posts seem to be Windows related.

Is it possible to control this device from Linux? Or an spc900 as I gather the 880 can be firmware flashed to a 900.

I am running 10.04 if that helps.
