Documentation for the ScopeLink telescope controller from Astrolabs, driver indi_scopelink.

Requested by @knro on indilib/indi-3rdparty#1371, where the driver is under
review; the page was written as that submission's doc/index.md and is removed from the driver tree in
the same round.

What is here

src/content/docs/focusers/astrolabs/scopelink/
├── scopelink.md          the page
├── scopelink.yaml        metadata
├── scopelink.webp        thumbnail, 300x300
└── images/               11 screenshots, 1180x700
public/images/manufacturers/astrolabs.webp

focusers is the primary category because that is the driver's devGroup in indi_scopelink.xml. The
page is listed under dust caps, light boxes and auxiliaries as well: the driver publishes a single device
that claims FOCUSER_INTERFACE, LIGHTBOX_INTERFACE and AUX_INTERFACE, adding DUSTCAP_INTERFACE
once the front flap's travel is calibrated. Happy to trim that list if fewer is preferred.

The page covers installation, connecting, every tab of the control panel with a screenshot taken from the
real generation 3 controller, the driver's simulation mode, troubleshooting and what to include in a bug
report.

Notes

  • Screenshots are lossless WebP (magick x.png -define webp:lossless=true x.webp) — pixel-exact and
    about half the size of the PNGs they came from, which matters for screenshots full of small text.
  • Thumbnail is 300x300 WebP as the contribution guide requires; the manufacturer logo is new.
  • Built locally with npm run build before submitting: the page and all eleven images render, and the
    Astrolabs card appears on the Focusers, Dust Caps, Light Boxes and Auxiliaries listings.

Documentation for the indi_scopelink driver, submitted to indi-3rdparty as
pull request 1371 and moved here at the maintainers' request.

The driver publishes one device carrying the focuser, dust cap, light box
and auxiliary interfaces, so the page is listed in all four categories.
