Astronomy
Probably my very first scientific interest. The astronomy bug hit me when I was around 6 years old. Over the years this hobby has been more or less present in my life, with a recent boost since 2004.
Astronomy Gear Pages
The following pages provide information on setting up astronomy gear.
- Aligning an equatorial mount
- Funny YouTube video showing the difference between a dobson and an equatorial mount
Telescope Making
Information on this website:
- My 14" f/5 ultraportable dobson telescope project has officially started on March 18th, 2007.
- Disassembling a JMI NGF Mini2M motorized focuser
- International Dictionary of Common Terms in Amateur Telescope Making (the ‘ATM Dictionary’) caters technical terms in the domain of telescopes and telescope making in up to nine languages. Descriptions are given in English.
- Some common telescope formulas.
Interesting information located elsewhere:
- Ultraportable minimalistic dobson (website in French)
- Ultra-Light and Minimalist Dobs (by Mel Bartels)
EQ6 bluetooth
Dear Olivier, We have used your project for controling HEQ5 mount via bluetooth and have build one. We would like to use this to control EQ6 mount but we have not any information about DB9 socet. Could you help us to create cabel with RJ45 on one site and DB9 on the other site. Any schemes are welcome. We will be very thankful if you have any information about Bluetooth control systems of Celestron mounts (CGE etc.) Best regards, Valery Genkov
Sorry for doubling of my post!
