Telescope + Raspberry Pi + Stellarium = iTelescope
This is video number 3 documenting my project to build an instrumented telescope (iTelescope). In this video I describe the latest updates to the system, including the adoption of the raspberry pi as the main telescope computer and the new user interface software.

    very nice Raspberry Pi project. I have an Orange Pi 5 and have plans to do a similar Stellarium, GoTo, PHD2 and this video really helps. Thank you.

    This is well done and I appreciate that it’s open source. Open source could be the legacy of humanity because of people like you.

    What a cool project! I bought a 10 inch DOB, I guess the same one as yours and really wanting to give it more functionality. Just a newbie question: will all these electronics survive dew exposure? What about cold weather? All in all, seems like a great project to delve into if the budget allows it.

    Im in the process of building my own mount. I have a 12 inch newtonian im putting on it. Im hoping to just control it with stellarium on my phone or laptop.

    @Gaby18000 4 года назад

    hello I have a SKYWATCHER DOBSON 203/1200 SKYLINER and I would like advice on which (P U S H TO or other system) and which encoder? And is it compulsory to have a laptop to do the encoders? I am a beginner and your help would be very precious. if you had the links of the pages it would be even better thank you. have a good day.

    Hi there, Simon! Create project... I liked so much, but I have some difficulties to found this magenetopot here in Brazil.... Is there any way to replace it for other stuff, some like normal potenciometers??? Thanks a lot.

    Nice one getting rid of the jitter and getting the right conversion factors. I'm surprised at the lag (looks to be about 200ms), what's causing the delay?

  • @ringod123
    @ringod123 5 лет назад

    To save anyone else who might be watching some time, this 3 part series, at no point, becomes an auto tracker, it simply simulates your RA and DEC in stellarium, no tracking or go to.

    why do you use ra and dec when you just have to calculate alt and az

  • @Fakinos_Konstantinos
    @Fakinos_Konstantinos 5 лет назад

    So great! What I would do next is to add two stepper motors and by adding coordinates, or by selecting a target on stellarium to drive the telescope there automatically.

  • @a.chrisblythe7991
    @a.chrisblythe7991 6 лет назад

    I think you are going to have problems with that mag resistive device 'sticking' and having a delay before if jumps back to position. Ie not recognising new small movements . You may find a goo optical encoder helps. Impressed though keep at it

  • @mabdinur85
    @mabdinur85 6 лет назад

    Would it not be easier to use the eq mount by turning that Newtonian in dob config to an eq config. All you need is a metal bracing structure as the eq mount point connected to the dob up down axis wedges. I've been thinking that might be the cheapest way of getting a big mirror astrograph on an eq mount. You can save 2 to 3 grand this way and those savings can be put to use on a camera or for bigger mount.

    Hi Simon, sorry but I can't find the arduino code, I can only find your raspberry code not the arduino one. Can you tell me where can I found it? because I wanna work with arduino not with raspberry.
