Didn’t realise there was a new version of #astroberry realised recently. Just trying the image out to replace my Bookworm based #stellarmate install that doesn’t seem to like my filter wheel. Seems OK so far but now to a) configure stuff again and b) copy over my #onstepx platformio configs …
Probably shouldn’t change my OnstepX config either but too late … need to test that too 😬

🔭 DIY Telescope Mount for Stellar Tracking.

Pointing at stars may seem easy on the surface — just mount a telescope to a tripod and you’re done, right? As anyone who’s spent time with a telescope can tell you, it’s not that simple, given that the Earth is always spinning. [Sven] set out to make his own mount to compensate for the rotation of the Earth, which led to some pretty amazing results.
