Thank you for the links and the write-up!

I'll share them with a friend who loves astronomy and who loves to organize star-gazing events that he livens up with his Unistellar telescope.

Very cool, thanks for sharing! Any ideas of adding 2 gimbal motors to this for GOTO? MS6010v3 or something lighter would seem like a good fit.

You wrote up "of course I refigured it" as if refiguring mirrors is something any reader would know how to do. I (and I suspect most of HN) does not; have you (or others) written on this topic?

Do you have an RSS feed just for the astronomy posts on your blog?
