When taking pictures of the stars you will get star trails if you don't compensate for the earth's movement. In some cases this may be a desired shot! It can be a pretty cool picture. But for deep sky imaging it's not desired. When getting started with astrophotography I made a couple prototype isosoles barn door trackers, one mechanical and one motorized like this, to prove it works. Then I decided to get more precise and 3D print things. All docs are in docs/ and there is an Index. My goal is to write up everything you need in order to print, assemble, and use this tracker. Hope you find some value in this! Clear Skies! Full write up with all the hardware, source, OpenSCAD, STL, etc here: https://github.com/jewzaam/barn-door-tracker Recommend a Raspberry Pi Pico case such as https://makerworld.com/en/models/66291?designId=66291#profileId-69552
