TIPS AND TECHNIQUES
The following are some guidelines for common problems and questions UFODAP users
have had while setting up or using UFODAP hardware or software or planning for a new
system.
TELESCOPE CONTROL
It should be possible to control a GoTo telescope via the OTDAU software. However,
the software interface (driver) to do that has not been developed.
For that to be possible, the following conditions would have to be met:
-- Use a GoTo to WiFi interface such as the SkyFi 3 controller
(https://skysafariastronomy.com/skyfi-3-professional-astronomy-telescope-control.html)
to get commands from your PC to the GoTo mount.
-- The telescope GoTo interface must be Celestron NexStar hand controller-compatible
as defined in the document: NexStarCommunicationProtocolV1.2.pdf
-- You would have to provide the WiFi interface and a compatible GoTo controller
(perhaps without the telescope) for software/hardware integration and testing.
-- You would need to provide some type of telescope camera that results in the image
available via either a USB or Ethernet interface.
If all of that could be arranged, then I may be able to develop the driver. If so, then
OTDAU would detect and track moving targets in the field of view and slew the
telescope to maintain track
MSDAU ANTENNA FUNCTION
The UFODAO MSDAU antenna that is of a type intended for scanner use, and covers
ultra wideband frequencies from 1MHz to 6000MHz and does it without the band gaps
found in antennas meant for similar applications. Thus, it covers all practical frequencies
the SDR is capable of receiving without changing the antenna.
