Anyone Interested in Automation?   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #1108 of 1207 |
Hi Folks,

I've recently started formalizing the code and software support for a remote
observatory package that can easily be built by someone handy with basic
electronics, i.e you can solder, and follow basic instructions.

Let me know if there are any folks here with observatories that you might be
interested in automating. I'm trying to find some beta testers for the design,
which is 100% open source at this point.

We have ASCOM drivers written for remote power and roof control, as well as
telescope safety sensing, etc. Let me know if anyone might be interested!

-Jeff
