Introduction

SatNOGS Optical is a project by the Libre Space Foundation to add optical observations to the distributed network. It is under early development.

Software

See:

Hardware

  • Sony IMX174 based cameras have worked well. Cheaper but less performance alternatives are the Raspberry Pi HQ camera or the Raspberry Pi Global Shutter camera.
  • A Raspberry Pi 4 or Pi 5 or faster embedded computer.
  • A mount, doesn't need to be tracking.

Results

Here are some results from the ASI174 camera:
