home welcome to the skybadger astronomical pages. this website is to record an interest in astronomy and share the results. the background page attempts to explain why i am interested in astronomy and provides a potted history of astronomy experience and publications. the equipment page more fully explores the equipment i use, its limitations and why i use it. the biggest downside to astronomy as a hobby is that if you haven't got the time, the skill or sometimes the equipment to make parts you have to buy, beg or swap them. and astronomy parts can be very expensive.... the recent additions to the site are the additions of the wireless and the scripting pages under the equipment section as i 'fill-out' the observatory capability to full remote control. content news - december 08 i have purchased an old astro systems of luton mount from mikems which will be the basis of my long term heavyweight telescope mounting capability. this mount should be capable of hefting a 16" cassegrain and currently hosts a 10" skeleton tube reflector. the intention is for it to carry a 12" reflector, a 8" cassegrain and associated guide scopes in the observatory. this mount comprises a heavy machined c-casting which pivots in a shoe to form the adjustable polar mount block, a cast dec axle mount and two pairs of ptfe-lined bearings for the ra and dec blocks. the axles are 1.5" stainless steel and the clutches for the worms on each axle are friction driven using springs for constant pressure, with thrust bearings to provide the rotating pressure surface. the ra worm wheel is 8" in diameter and the dec worm is 4" in diameter, both in phosphor bronze with 3/4" steel worms rotating in mounts with pressed oilite bushes and spacer washes. the jobs i need to do on this mount include : de-rust and re-spray all parts - done polish and paint the dec and ra setting circles - done clean and wear-in the ra and dec worm wheels - done build a ra and dec drive to replace the original synchronous and dc motors to allow goto control - underway ( see pic microstepper driver & pic goto drive board ) - underway fabricate a worm wheel cover for the ra and dec worm wheels. - beginning install a digital encoder on the ra and dec axles to measure 'absolute' periodic error. (the pointing position is already handled using incremental encoders on the worm drives). this will allow me to measure and correct for periodic error on the worms without guiding. so far the mount is largely re-built in the garage with new springs and a stepper motor drive in ra. full details here i am in the process of assembling the materials to make a new telescope pier for the observatory. they consist of : base plate : 20mm steel plate by 18" on a side 13" round by 10mm thick steel plate for the top plate 76" tall by 8" diameter steel tube for the main pier i have the first two but not the last yet. i had one on order from steelexpress but when i went to pick it up it was 76mm long. now i believe it will be ordered from basingstoke pipe and tube. it's not cheap for a piece of pipe.. the other issue is how to get the existing mount out - the hole in the observatory floor is smaller than the base of the tripod. not by design. the observatory dome drive as configured in the obbo pages has been slipping for a while now. basically the dome is not perfectly round and so in places the skirt rubs. add to that the use of smooth wheels on a smooth drive surface and the inevitability of not being perfectly circular and you get a dome that sticks in some places. that's not terribly useful when otherwise the dome would track the 'scope using the ascom dome hub. i went off to fiveways bearings to get a quote on using timing belt around the drive edges and suitable pulleys to bear on it. john smith came up with 25 foot of 1" wide h100 poly belt with 1/2" pitch and two pulleys to ride on it. i cut the belting up into sections and glued it to the flat drive surface with evostik. then i took the old wheels off the motors and replaced them with the pulleys. the end result is a dome that gets the full driving torque of the motors with no slippage and that is a great improvement. in fact, its sufficiently good and the belting is sufficiently low profile that i am thinking about using it for the up-and-over shutter. the dome is re-shuttered and re-erected at the bottom of the garden. i have lifted the entire building up on jacks to lift it off the tripod after it settled. this entailed going round the base with a scissor car jack and physically lifting each corner and re-bolting the legs to the metpost sockets but higher up the sockets. i have sold the 8" newtonian - more a swap really with mikems from ukai for the mirror grinding machine he had. this machine is of the waineo type. this needed a re-jig to provide the top pulley layout - i removed an extra pulley added as a tensioner - it wasn't required and then fitted up the eccentric with a quick-release connector from a bike hub. the last step was to mount all this on a custom-made steel frame to bring it up to working height. i have moved across to full ascom control of the dome and am working on getting the skybadger dome controller software operational. i have re-positioned the dome solar panel because winter light wasn't strong enough to keep the batteries charged. and it still isn't finally re-assembled you can see the new shutter on the top, the front solar panel and the field to the west that separates me from the a33. the observatory has been finished for a long while now. however the storms of january lifted the shutter, twisted it and blew it into the dome. so the last few months have been fabricating its replacement and the hardware that allow it to slide with an eye to motorising the travel. the wireless page describes common information on remoting an observatory and will be expanded as i complete the software and hardware that interfaces the control systems to the observatory pc. -- i moved house in october 2005 to a new location further out from reading towards basingstoke. the new location doesn't even have street lights - yippee. however that meant taking the observatory down, packing away the parts and re-siting it at the bottom of the new garden. fortunately the new garden has a better aspect- i fought the wife off to get the corner i wanted and then followed the hard work - moving two tons or so of compost heap around the garden, removing the old fencing, digging the hole for the concrete footings for the pier and filling it. re-erecting the bolt-together base building and the largest job of all - mending all the damage done to the fragile glassfibre dome components. however its done now, the dome is almost ready for re-assembly as the last frayed corners get re-laid with glass fibre and the weather is staying resolutely mild. finally re-assembled you can see the new shutter on the top, the front solar panel and the field to the west that separates me from the a33. -- projects in astronomy include: after swapping the newtonian mount and ota with mikems for a mom mirror grinding machine in an almost completed state, i have fixed it up, completed it, varnished it and have completed a 6" trial mirror to the polishing stage. along the way i needed to make a spherometer, mirror mount for testing, foucault tester and light source. there are some pictures: i have removed the pan-and-tilt webcam and am replacing it with a low-light wide-angle camera for monitoring the inside of the observatory. try here for a streamed media feed. implementing the thermal scanning cloud camera on the observatory. the housing and panning mechanism is in place now. i can control and query it via vbscript here or there is the tool from devasys to create an image. this goes with the devantech usb to i2c adapter for easy comm port access to the i2c bus. the next step is wrap this up in more script and make it create colour images from the output. logging the magnetic compass field data and compa
