A small ARM based open source computer.
I started out running Astroberry on my Raspberry Pis for EAA. Astroberry is great and has most everything you need but it also has a bunch of stuff you may never use. Since Astroberry is not updated that often and it is…
It has been cloudy, so I have been messing the with Raspberry Pi. I have a 64GB SD Card that I loaded up with the 64-bit Raspberry Pi OS. No real need for 64-bit other than future proofing. I read somewhere that…
I have been wanting to test some other methods of connecting my to astronomy gear for EAA observing. My Astroberry Raspberry Pi is working great but just want to do some tinkering. Since the Pi I built with Astroberry is working great…
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…
