Exploring the Suffolk Virginia Night Sky – Astronomy, Astrophotography, Telescopes, EAA – Planets and Stars and Nebula and Galaxies – Looking, Learning, Sharing… Let's see what we can see…
A small ARM based open source computer.
Recently I started tinkering with setting up an INDI AllSky Camera with a SVBONY SV305 and a Raspberry Pi 3B. It is a cool project and since I was able to get it working I wanted to enclose it to make it…
I have had a few folks reach out and ask me about my workflow for capturing images with KStars/Ekos/INDI and then live stacking them using SharpCap for EAA. I am using Ekos to capture and save the FITS files to my local…
I have the SVBONY SV305 camera which I have not used much since I picked up the ZWO ASI294MC Pro. I also have a Raspberry Pi 3B which was just sitting idle. I decided to try to use the SV305, the Raspberry…
While I am waiting for the sky to clear I added a display to the Raspberry Pi running Astroberry which I have been using to control my camera and mount for my EAA sessions. I picked up a 10.1″ touch screen monitor…
Sorry for all the equipment post recently but the weather has been terrible. Hopefully it will clear up soon and we can get back to observing. I have been searching for a case for the GPS module I use on my Raspberry…
Some more winter weather is on the way and the scopes are still put away. I am testing some cameras and writing some posts waiting for clear skies. I am always looking for ways to simplify the process of moving and setting…
I have been using my Raspberry Pi setup with Astroberry to remotely control my gear for a few EAA observing sessions now and it has been working out great. The clear nights have been cold and since I can access and control…
Tonight I tried some EAA observing from inside the house using the new Raspberry Pi Astroberry to control the telescope and camera. Spent a lot of time just messing and I have a lot of things to figure out, but it was…
I set up and tested my Raspberry Pi with Astroberry a few days ago. The GPS Module I ordered finally arrived and this post walks through how I set it up to get real-time GPS data for KStars. This is not really…
Several years ago I had set up a Raspberry Pi to allow me to control the telescope using Stellarium and image through the Raspberry Pi’s camera. I was tinkering with some EAA before EAA was EAA. It was completely self-contained in a…
