Development Automatic Remote Control Telescope Stand Via Web Application

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to Development Automatic remote control telescope stand via web application, telescope stand system can control the rotation of the telescope, both the horizontal axis (azimuth angle) and the vertical axis (altitude angle) are automatic, and display images of objects in the sky that the telescope passes through with a web browser and can also take pictures and send them to the LINE application. Make the study of astronomy can be done by many people at the same time using internet technology and microcontroller. From the test results, it was found that the prototype system for controlling the automatic remote telescope stand via a web application can be rotation controlled according to the azimuth angle and altitude angles, move in 1 degree increments by pressing a button on the web application developed this time. In locating stars and planets, it was found that locating stars had an error in the average azimuth angle. For the star Rigel 2.26%, Betelgeuse 2.97%, Jupiter 1.13% and Mars 0.91%. As for the error in the altitude angle, the answer For Rigel 3.45%, Betelgeuse 3.12%, Jupiter 8.42% and Mars 2.62%.
