Motorize-a-1980-telescope

Kepler1 - a OnStep project

Description

If you, like me, find an old dusty telescope in our garage, wouldn’t you want it to work like one of the best motorized telescopes? Here, you will find the transformation of my equatorial Urania telescope on the way to 2.0.

Theory

All the steps are reported in the documentation. The software parts are provided by OnStep and there you'll find how to install the software and choose your best approach that fits your mount. 3D printed parts are stored in the Hardware folder. Pinout design for the electronic parts are visible in the Setup folder.

Roadmap

In the future, we will try to obtain better tracking resolutions and faster slew rates.
