Now THIS is convergence: The PiKon - 3D Printing an astronomical telescope using a Raspberry Pi camera sensor!

A team at the University of Sheffield have 3D-printed an astronomical telescope (based on the Newtonian design), which is equipped with a digital camera and Raspberry Pi controller:

All of my hobbies rolled up in to one - how cool is that?!

Labelled posts on this Blog

In an effort to expand the scope of this blog, but to help people (including me!) find things that they might be interested in, I have created some "Labels" which I will use to tag all posts. You can filter for the "Label" you are interested in by selecting it from the menu on the right-hand side of this page.

Labels I have created include:

• 3D Printing
• Arduino
• Astronomy
• Raspberry Pi

Stay tuned - who knows what other areas I will choose to add here?!
