1 About AI vision Reflective Telescope
AI vision Reflective Telescope uses Raspberry Pi 4B supervise the celectial sky and follows the orbit of star accordingly.
The reflective telescope gives larger reflective diameter and longer optical routine for better functions than Galileo Telescope. I have the 16x lense and reflective mirror readyf for this project.
2 Reflective telescope
According to Reflecting Telescope: Definition, Optics, Design and Diagram (sciencefacts.net), reflective telesope uses a combination of curved mirrors that reflect light and form an image of a distant object.
Reflecting telescope is so-called because the primary mirror reflects the light to a focus instead of refracting it. The primary mirror usually has a concave spherical or parabolic shape and inverts the image at the focal plane. A secondary curved mirror, in combination with an eyepiece, is used to observe the image.
With vision capture capability of Raspberry Pi, the secondary curved mirror is not neccesary since camera lense can feed vision into the AI model to analysis the star in view and observor can sit in room to observe the celectial sky without stand near the telescope.
3 The contol of telescope
The support frame of telescope can be designed as movable to follow the orbit. The selection of motor is not decided since I am still unsure about the weight of telescope. That is problem to be digged into in following blogs.
