Description
This project focuses on the design and construction of an Astro photographic equatorial mount, a crucial tool for long-exposure astrophotography. The equatorial mount’s precision tracking capabilities ensure that celestial objects remain stationary in the camera’s field of view, enabling the capture of detailed and clear astronomical images. The project involves conceptualizing, designing, fabricating, and testing the equatorial mount, with an emphasis on achieving high accuracy, ease of use, and cost-effective. This project proposes the design and development of an Astro photographic equatorial mount to enhance the quality and accessibility of celestial imaging for amateur astronomers and educational institutions.
