Description
Summary:The TASCO telescope is interfaced to a computer through a new base that is rigged with stepper motors. The accompanying software drives to stepper motors to automatically track and target the Sun, the 5 visible planets and the 100 brightest stars. Various astronomical coordinate system conventions and equations of motion are discussed, for getting the current position of celestial bodies to be tracked or targeted, given the location, date and time of observation.
