moore_constellation A Cluster of Small Telescopes Does Autonomous Science Work Project Named After Sir Patrick Moore Description Using a Collection of Affordable and Independent Telescopes to Complete Tasks Like Variable Star Astrometry Exoplanet Confirmation Moon Meteorite Monitoring Astrophotography Parts of the Project Autonomous Mini-Observatories: Consists of a Motorized Telescope with a Camera, a Motorized Dome, and Climate Sensors INDI Compatible Software for Controlling Each Mini-observatory Kstars for Controlling the Mini-observatories and Assigning Tasks to Them Normalization Software that Aggregates Results from Multiple Observatories to Amplify the Power of the Telescopes and Add Scientific Value to the Observations Work Already Prototyped Cloud Sensors Using 90° IR Thermometers. The Dome Should Close When Clouds are Detected 3D Part for Connecting a DSLR Camera to the Focuser of the Telescope. A NoIR-Pi Cam is Probably Being Used 3D Part to Hold the Focuser, with the Contour of the Telescope and Screw Holes for Secondary Mirror Space Work in Progress 3D Part for the Focuser, with a Mini-Stepper Motor and Rail. Currently Trying a Motorized Linear Rail Potentiometer, but Later with a Mini-Stepper with Included Rails Webcams as Well as Pi-cams are Being Evaluated Integration with Focus Software
