Using Claude to Control A Telescope Via ESP32
Friday, April 24, 2026 by Russ Scritchfield
A new firmware called LUNA is now available, bringing natural language telescope control to affordable ESP32 boards. LUNA serves as a bridge between Claude AI and a wide range of astronomy mounts and software, using the Model Context Protocol to exchange structured commands and data. The result is a...
Turning discarded astrophotography data into discoveries with SpacePixels
Thursday, March 26, 2026 by Russ Scritchfield
As astrophotographers, we spend so much time using rejection algorithms during stacking to perfectly erase anything that moves across our frames. But I started thinking about all the dynamic data we are throwing away, like faint asteroids, satellites, comets, streaks and other slow moving objects th...
