Description
Summary:Astronomy is a branch of natural science in which the data retrieval process cant be separated from the observation. To do the observation is required a telescope to assist the process of observation. In observation, the observer should be at the same place with the telescope. For it is developed as telescope control system so that the observer can control a telescope remotely using a web page. This control system using raspberry pi as a control center of the telescope. In process of the automation of telescope, it is used GPS for data location, digital compass to lead the telescope points at north and star catalog as database of celestial objects. The telescope system that has made has an accuracy's error less than 1% in directing telescope to the sky object and 36.7% in error for tacking sky object.
