Most people who enjoy taking astrophotography with autoguide system as their standard equipment. But it requires a laptop to control it. It takes space, consume battery power, and require complicate setup. It is quite troublesome working with it. It also very expensive too.
I would like to simplify that setup, reduce battery consumption with minimized budget; therefore I choose Raspberry Pi ($39), Adafruit 2.8" LCD ($35), Open CV (free), reversed telescope ($20), and a webcam ($10).
Enjoy...
Hi
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean with ' reversed telescope ' ?
Thanks
It means a singlet, doublet lenses, or any telescope without eye pieces. Reversed means it will be a negative magnatification on camera sensor.
ReplyDeleteI don't get the whole "reversed telescope" part.
DeleteI would like to know more about it too...
ReplyDeleteMr. Yang,
ReplyDeleteWould you consider selling me an SD card with CV 3 pre-loaded and ready to go? My internet here is up and down...download keeps getting interrupted!
