Networking an OBSERVATORY with Fiber Optics!

Who is interested in learning more about the software I use to control my observatory remotely? 🔭

This video is pure gold. Thank you

[@FoFoAstro]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@flyinglenses4shini4]

please make a full video showing how to make an automated observatory

[@FoFoAstro]

Roger that!

That hill is real pretty, kinda looks like the Windows XP screensaver ;)

[@FoFoAstro]

It does!

You could have done the 500 foot network link wirelessly with 2 Yagi antennas connected to a wireless router on each end. Ask me how I know. You wouldn't get the same throughput but it would have worked pretty well. Also a lot cheaper.

Definitely! Ubiquity also offers their own wireless option. I had that on the observatory at my old house but it wasn't nearly as reliable as I wanted. The fiber connection is rock-solid!
