mpu-9150 to aid goto navigation

[SteveBz]

Hi guys,

Has anyone used an mpu-9150 or mpu-6050 to support tracking or goto?

I'm thinking about it, but I think it maybe a lot of effort to do what plate-solving does better.

Regards

I used it for fun but apparently it's pretty useless for astro. At the most it can indicate actual position of a scope in remote observatories... still a cheap ipcam is better. You will never get a >1 arcmin precission with it compared to astrometry / plate-solving.
