| Prototype Artificial Star Test |
|
| I have been building a prototype fibre optic/LED artificial star in order to
collimate my telescopes under ideal conditions. Here are some
pictures of my initial prototype. |
 |
|
 |
| The following image was captured using a Philips Toucam pro and a Celestron C90 (3.5"
Maksutov-Cassegrain). This test used a 50 micron fibre optic
at a distance of ~4.5m from the telescope. |

| Meade Autostar Guided Tour Construction Kit |
|
| I have started to program a utility that will make
it easy to create/modify guided tour files that are compatible
with the Meade Autostar controller. It is still in the early
stages of development and I dont have a beta version yet - but
here is a screenshot of what it will look like. |
