The final piece of the puzzle

[Vox45]

What a journey it has been

I started down the dark path of DIY because of this forum. So many inspiring projects and so many people ready to help along the way that it gave me the confidence to start a second hobby, building stuff for my first hobby

1st project : Rowan Belt mode

2nd project: a power panel to power my scope and other devices so I only have 2 leads coming down the mount (power and data)

3rd project : build a bench power supply for the power panel when I have access to an electrical outlet

4th project : move away from Windows and use only open source softwares. I chose INDI and Kstars/Ekos and have no regrets

5th project : Use a Raspberry PI 3 at the mount to control everything (INDI) and a laptop to manage my session (Kstars/Ekos)
