Welcome to my little part of the net Bluetooth Serial adapter for your telescope, control your telescope wirelessly
Weather monitor with an Astro take on things. Cloud detector, rain detector, wind, daylight/darkness, humidity, bluetooth wireless connection
Introducing a USB to ST4 output autoguide adapter for your scope and PC/MAC and those whose cameras do not have native ST4 output. ASCOM support for PC's and directly supported in PHD for MAC's
Meade 909 APM information (more than you ever probably wanted to know) and functional clone
Autostar 506 cable info and prototype clone
ASCOM Parallel Port stepper and temperature based focuser
Meade DSI cooling to -60F from ambient, peltier power controller schematics, many references
DSI pro cooling: comparison images at 15F versus 70F with raws, darks and dark subtracted, hardly need darks at 15F
DSI pro cooling: new design using 30mm pelt good for -60F below ambient. Power control schematics included
