PushBullet, PushOver – instant notifications
From Lunático we have been playing around a little bit with Node-RED – as they say “…a programming tool for wiring together hardware devices, APIs and online services in new and interesting ways.”
Truth is, it is fun, quite easy, and very useful and interesting things that can be accomplished with relatively little effort.

TARSIER – Test report
This month we tested a versatile focus motor manufactured by Lunático; the so-called Tarsier. It is a fully autonomous motorized focuser system, without the need for a computer and compatible with most of the focusers on the market. Let’s see how it works.

Simple setup to safely close the roof with the CloudWatcher
If you have a simple roof automation, maybe a garage-door system, there is an effective way to close the roof in case of unsafe weather, including sunrise, with no risk of opening it again (unless manually, for the next session).

Why is it best to guide with a short scope?
Autoguiding is one of the most challenging tasks to master in astrophotography; nowadays, with digital cameras (CCD or CMOS), manual guiding makes no sense, as it is almost impossible to keep the required accuracy, even more with the ever-increasing exposure times everyone is using.
