Kedros Observatory

Its been almost two months now that due to bad weather our observatory did not gather any scientific data at all! Hopefully the weather will get better soon…

In order to make our observatory work 100% autonomous we had to design and make electronic circuits from scratch. On top of that, new algorithms and reconfigured ones are giving “soul” to the systems

Lets gather more data…

We are trying to improve our systems constantly. A little faster algorithms, a little faster movement, a few mA or even Ampere of better consumption… everything to move from a very good system to the best!

We are partners with Global Meteor Network! The only one in Greece, with the station name GR0002 – and we are very happy about it! You can find more info about this global network and its work here: globalmeteornetwork.org Below is the field of view of our station and the meteors captured last night

We had a small lighting storm close by and our AllSky Camera system captured a few amazing lightings!

We had to move the Electronics Auto Focusing unit a few centimetres away from the body of the telescope. In order to do that we print a new housing and we had to enlarge a little bit the hole of the main gear. An easy job for our CNC machine

A small time lapse video over looking the small town of Deskati. We was testing the capabilities of our used GoPro Hero 6… it’s pretty good!

…and we are really happy about it!

We are out to hunt the barn new Starlink constellation…
