StarPI

Post by Forum_2014 »

Someone that I know wrote this app. Maybe it will be usefull for someone here too

INFO:

Guide your telescope from your Android device!
StarsPi will connect to your Raspberry Pi via WiFi and:
- continuously download the guider camera image for frame and focus
- let you select the guide star
- calibrate the guider camera image with the desired number of frames
- calibrate the directions of the guiding system
- set guiding rate (all popular guide rates supported)
- fine tune the parameters of the guiding algorithm
- display the drift data of each axis
- more to come...

StarsPi uses the 3.1 version of Lin-guider to achieve the guiding.

Note: in order to use the application, your Raspberry Pi needs to run a modified version of Lin-guider. Installation notes and details can be found on starspi.com.

Take care and clear skies

StarsPi 1.1

Posted by Zsolt Nagy on November 1, 2015

The newest version of StarsPi is available on Google Play. It adds two new features: DSLR camera control and dithering.
The modified Lin-guider package also needs to be updated: link.
The DSLR camera should be connected to the RPI via USB cable, all newer Canon EOS cameras are supported (more to come).
