  • There are already several software solutions for polar alignment; NINA, ASI Air, SharpCap, StellarMate etc. Of those I think only NINA is open source. They all use the primary imaging camera and the mount to calculate the polar error and display that for the user to manually correct. So the alignment part is already solved.

    You’d need to figure out a good mounting solution for whatever servo/motor used (and this will likely be very mount dependant) and then just translating NINA’s (or whatever’s) output into actions for the motors.


  • Pretty much this. Combined with how easy it is to install VaultWarden (docker ftw), it was a no brainer for me.

    Also, my little home server is a WAY less juicy target for someone looking to steal and sell a bunch of passwords.

    Been running it for probably about 2 years now. No ISP outages but a couple self-inflicted ones. Didn’t even notice the outages in the BitWarden app/extension.
