Original report by M Roessner: https://bugs.launchpad.net/stellarium/+bug/1514238

This is a feature request (not a bug report).

Syphon (http://syphon.v002.info/) is an open source Mac OS X technology that allows applications to share frames - full frame rate video or stills - with one another in realtime. Adding Syphon server functionality to Stellarium would allow planetarium operators to stream Stellarium footage in real time into dome-enabled VJ software packages, such as BlendyDomeVJ (http://www.blendydomevj.com/) or vDome (http://interactivedome.net/).

In this way, Stellarium can be used also in multi-projector fulldome planetarium domes. This would promote the usage of Stellarium also in large-scale planetarium installations, where the already-implemented fisheye projection is not sufficient.

We have solved this for Windows already with Spout. Any volunteers for Mac?
