New Astro Blog

Astro Blog will detail the use of these two telescopes, a 9.25" and 14"
EdgeHD from Celestron.
Coming Soon! New Astro Blog

The exciting new future dedicated Astro blog is where you can partake in exciting astro details, projects and experiments!

Astro blog will include new ideas and techniques, observatory and equipment details for astro imaging the Moon, planets and/or deep sky objects. One major focus will include the penetration of clouds, less than ideal seeing conditions, and light pollution,. This includes increasing the quality of results and data obtained through smog, fog, haze, thin clouds, chemical air pollution, and minimizing or eliminating specific lighting such as LED, mercury vapor and sodium. The blog page may also include telescope, accessory and equipment reviews and hidden details revealed on the best astro deals worldwide. Astro blog may show results and details of what can be accomplished in the heart of the inner city when imaging through bright Bortle 9 skies with the highest levels of light pollution. Some interesting questions may include how to pole align when the North is blocked, and how to star calibrate the telescope when no stars are visible.

Space1 iSobot Humanoid Telescope Repair in Space

Space1 reviews Humanoido's 2008 iSobot space project, originally posted 9 years ago, on Tuesday, February 19th, to repair a telescope in space. Such information is applicable to Space1's Tom humanoid robot for future Space1 space missions.

Space1 has a space telescope so this project is valuable to the space program for exploring autonomous humanoid robotic space telescope repairs. The original post from the Robosavvy Forum is presented here along with a photo of iSobot crawling along the telescope tube of the Meade ETX-60AT model.

on the night of the 97% waxing gibbous Moon

Brave little i-SOBOT robot space-walks along the main tube optics array
of the IST to make adjustments to the ocular section of his space telescope.

A mechanical camera clamp allows i-SOBOT to have foot-holds during work,
as he removes the ocular assembly from the eyepiece holder.

I believe this is the first humanoid astronomer to space walk along the tube
of a space telescope to initiate an autonomous repair.

Some records set during this event:
1) First humanoid astronomer
2) Smallest humanoid astronomer
3) First humanoid telescope repair
4) First humanoid space walk along a telescope
5) First humanoid scientist to adjust a telescope ocular
6) First humanoid programs created to accomplish 1 through 5
