Polar Aligment
I'm thinking about an IoT Polar Aligner. The main idea is to use a Raspberry Pi W with the camera module to find and detect the North Star and display it on the mobile phone. The final goal is to connect it with servos so that it can automatically align itself. Does anyone know of a similar open source project?

I have used CircuitPython in some projects, especially with my children. Python was easier for them than C. For small projects (domestic sensor, remote control car,...) there is no difference in performance. For those use cases that are more demanding and squeeze the possibilities of the SoC to the maximum, obviously, it is not worth it. Taking this into account, I think it is an alternative for many DIY projects that are being done out there

You're right. It was taken a day before but it gave me an error when uploading the photo (it happens to me with some frequency in Lemmy lately) and it stayed in the pending queue
Perseverance rover find intriguing Mars rock
As always with these news it is still too early to draw conclusions: more analysis and tests are necessary.

I agree. It is more a curiosity thing than a real life project. But it helps to show the potential of this SoCs and it is a good practice for a lot of things.
Digital Panel for your old car
Si tu coche ya es algo antiguo y quieres modernizarlo un poco, puedes añadirle un panel digital táctil por muy poco, utilizando una Raspberry Pi junto a su pantalla táctil
I found this tutorial about how to use a raspberry pi to add a digital panel to old cars (canbus port needed)
There are free IoT cloud solutions to send and receive data and that work with MQTT protocol for this purpose.
Lunar Halo
It is a bad quality photo taken from a mobile. The circle that surrounds the moon is formed by the refraction of the moonlight when passing through ice crystals present in the atmosphere. At times surrounding the moon itself you can see a circular rainbow (they all are, but we see only half of the solar rainbow). This phenomenon is called a lunar halo.
Hi!
nice photo 👏🏻 I have just downloaded Siril, and I want to do something similar to this, but I have two Siril related questions because I think they are a lot of photos to stack and I am not sure my Macbook can do the job:
- How long did it take you to process it?
- Did you use a "normal" laptop or do you have a powerful graphic card?
Thanks in advance!
Question - Tips for Polar aligment
Tonight, if the clouds allow me, I wanted to take pictures with my Skywatcher Star Adventurer mini. As I'm going to set up a small telescope (a Celestron C90) I need a very good alignment to the Polar so that I don't have any traces left. Tips to make an alignment as accurate as possible? Thank you
I don't use conda actually (I did in the past), but I think you could try:
conda shell.bash activate project0
You must see the paths and config used to activate the environment. Check all is fine.
Source: https://docs.conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/dev-guide/deep-dives/activation.html
I think it is an ideal traveling companion... small, light but good enough to enjoy the night sky
Full moon - January 24
My first photo with a telescope. It is not a incredible shoot but I am very proud of it.
Telescope: Celestron C90 Camera: Sony A7R Mk II (APS-C crop mode) Exposition: 1/10"
Yes, you can. Python has Email package to manage email through STMP protocol. I use it daily in my scripts. Attached link is a tutorial of Real Python:
I hope this change doesn't be approved. Wolves are critical for a healthy ecosystem.
