OpenLiveStacker - is an open source application for live stacking for Linux and Android.
Background
I'm getting into EAA, but the big stopper for me is a cumbersome setup and one of big inconveniences is need to bring a laptop to control the camera and do the live stacking and even more so as Linux user I don't really have viable solution even if I bring a laptop. Since we all have quite powerful computing device smartphone or tablet, if I only could connect an astronomical camera directly to a smartphone or tablet...
So I implemented it and released as open source... (my two hobbies open-source software and astronomy connected)
