Not exactly a show off but thought I’d share my (complete beginner) homemade digital scope build. It’s a scaled up version of a pikon
https://pikonic.com with significant mods and additions to the 3d printed parts to allow for the bigger size, disassembly etc
Mirror is an 8 inch w 1200 focal length; the sensor is a hacked one (Hawkeye with removed lens to expose it) that records at 64 mega pixels. Operated by a raspberry pi 4 with a bespoke inbuilt battery (lasts about 2 hours so plenty!) and touchscreen in a housing mount on the tube. Image save (RAW/jpeg) and settings via a self written python gui, which syncs to a Dropbox.
Couple of saves (moon + Jupiter) included. Still learning camera settings… and my focus is really very very fiddly, might need a rebuild one day to get a finer tuning control.
Enjoy + suggestions and advice welcome!!
