The PiFinder uses plate solving technology to quickly and accurately determine where your telescope is pointing by taking photos of the sky and identifying star patterns in the image. This direct measurement of sky position does away with the need for multi-star alignment, sky models or other set up. In under one second it can provide precise positioning on any telescope. No encoders required and as easy to install as a red dot finder.
All NVMe disks are not equal it seems. Had issues getting my Pi5 to boot using a spare NVMe drive I had. Fan whirring non stop and nothing booting.
Booting from SD I can see, read and write to the NVMe drive.
Thought it might be the Pi4 PSU I was using so ordered a Pi5 PSU that arrived today. Same issue.
Swapped the "Union Memory" branded one for an SKHynix one and worked perfectly fine.

Something I did a few (8) years ago on the Ardunio to display two-digit numbers on a 8x8 LED matrix, this is an update to do the same in Micropthon. Numbers have been defined to 3x5 pixels, so for a two-digit number it fits into 8x5 LED grid with spacing, saving some LED Matrix space. Numbers The code for this can be found here numbers.py This original Ardunio code is here.
