Title: PiKon - 3D Printed Telescope and Raspberry Pi Camera
Post by: Jonathan on Sep 29, 2015, 18:57:15
I met Mark Wrigley, the leader of this project at the Maker fair in the National Space Centre a couple of weeks ago. Looks like a interesting project, I'm especially interested in the Raspberry Pi either controlling the telescope or being used as a camera. He has just started crowd funding on Indiegogo, here are the links if anyone is interested:
