Kann mir zufällig jemand sagen, wie schnell das WLAN in der Stadtbibliothek in etwa ist? Habe Zuhause gerade Internetprobleme und muss ein relativ großes OS-Image hochladen, wozu meine mobilen Daten leider nicht ausreichen. Die Vodafone Hotspots sind mit 1Mbit Upload leider viel zu langsam.
I posted earlier about finding a telescope on the side of the road but quickly realized that the mount is absolute garbage.
A DIY Dobsonian conversion was recommended to me which is absolutely doable for me and will be my first route.
However looking at the Dobsonian I quickly realized the concept looked really familiar to me because it's essentially the same concept that's used for Moving-Head lamps in stage lighting. After asking around, I've found an old friend that would sell me a broken Martin MAC700 profile for 50 bucks. It supports 540° pan, 246° tilt, 16-bit control, position correction and a slow pan/tilt mode intended for slow movements through narrow angles, which sounds exactly what would be needed for astronomy purposes. While the zoom optics and discharge lamp on the fixture are broken, the pan / tilt and position correction still work.
Obviously it would be a significant diy project because I'd have to remove the entire lighting section, balance and mount the telescope, write some software that supports calibrating to a known easy to find celestial object and ideally resolve and go to the current positions of known celestial objects.
The software part of this is well inside my abilities and on the upside I've already programmed raspberry PIs to interface with DMX (the protocol for stage lighting), but I'm not sure how the hardware capabilities translate to the astronomy use-case, either for imaging planets or deep field.
Has anybody done such a conversation before?
From my understanding it's missing an eye piece, but the mirror looks good.
I'd also like to connect some form of digital sensor to it. Any recommendations that aren't too expensive for somebody just getting into the hobby?
Also I live in one of the most light polluted areas of my country. What can I expect to see using the telescope from my home? What about an area without light pollution?
Edit: Total beginner here if it wasn't obvious from my post, although I have a background in programming and digital signal / image processing. Any interesting projects I could do in that regard?
I own a 4080 as well as a 5090, both from Inno3D (if that matters?).
I just moved and probably lost one of the 12V power adapters. Now afaik the 5090 uses a newer adapter and as anything to do with these creations straight from hell has you literally playing with fire, I don't want to risk using the remaining adapter for either, so I have a couple of questions:
- Can somebody already tell for which card this is from the pictures alone?
- Did the adapter get improved for the 5090? Are they interchangeable or at least backwards compatible?
- Do I have to watch out for anything while buying a replacement?
