Nice project.

I've used UV4L for streaming, and it allows remote setting of the characteristics

Very good project!

It has a lot of interesting aspects that can be applied also in other contexts. Do the Pi also keep in charge the telescope positioning ?

Nice update.

You can get what is called a T-adapter, on which you can mount the camera and slide it into the eyepiece tube for a snug fit.

The lens on the Pi camera can work as your eyepiece, or you can take the lens off the Pi camera and go to prime focus.

Either way you can get good pictures.

A 3D printed adapter for eyepiece projection will work, but can purchase those products already and they make a good solid fit into the telescope tube.
