Technology
Technology Group
Astronomy involves a lot of technology, from finding out what the weather is going to be tonight, to remotely controlling a telescope or taking images.
The Technology Group aims to document and collate our technical journeys through various projects associated with Astronomy and Earth Sciences.
Member Projects
Many of our members make things for their telescopes and observatories, or play with technology in order to achieve outcomes.
We wish to pass on what we have done so that others can learn from our experiences.
Environment and Site Monitoring
Some members monitor the environment. We take measurements of sky brightness, seeing and weather conditions at our observing sites.
Some members have earthquake monitoring equipment in their observatories that is part of an Australia-wide seismic network.
What You May Find Here
Here you will find information on some of those projects, consisting of electronic, mechanical and software elements that are semi-related to Astronomy or Earth Sciences.
Information about technology members have played with that we think is interesting enough to document and brag about.
- Be it a dew heater for optics, accurate timing for data recording, a 3D printed clip to tidy cable clutter on scopes, or some interesting software we have found, hopefully you will eventually find it here.
Aims and Objectives
- To get members to write up their projects with enough detail so that duplication by others is possible.
- Create a repository for those documented projects.
- Provide a place for technical information.
- A place to put useful links.
