Dobsonian delight


It took a few months & a lot of chips, but the Dobsonian finally worked. Finally grounded the circuit board to the structure & that seems to have worked. The PCM modulation eliminated all glitches.

The movement isn't as precise as hoped. The only benefit we're probably getting is some stiffness to the movement when U want to manually move it. Can take 3 shots of the moon & track it with the RC controller in the time of another 3 shots.

There's no shaking at all.

1 other thing. Here's the movie of yesterday's still photos. 1 flight was stable enough to get a movie out of it. Unfortunately, it wasn't the 3deg/sec one.

Hi res still photo movie (0 min 39 sec)
