Remote for 50mm Webcam Guidescope

by

Chris Schmidt

7/28/2015

This project is intended to allow remote control / remote offset of a 50mm or other smaller guidescope for the purpose of finding brighter guidestars than may normally be available in the FOV using a webcam style guidescope camera and enabling remote control, so that I can be in bed on cold winter nights.

Overview

The solution uses an arduino to control a low-cost, 2 axis, rigid & stable guidescope mount.
