The Insight

Reliability and autonomy for a “one-shot” astronomical event. The system handles guiding, exposure ramping (Holy Grail), and error recovery (watchdogs) so the photographer can experience the eclipse while the system secures the data.

Quick Facts

What This Is

A “fire and forget” Raspberry Pi-based controller for autonomous solar eclipse photography. It coordinates a camera (via gphoto2) and a high-end mount (ZWO AM5 / Benro Polaris via INDI) to capture a complete eclipse sequence from C1 to C4 without manual intervention.
