Stellarium Scripts

May 12, 2022 — ~dragon

Pretty pleased that I was able to put together a script to point in the vague direction of various parts of the moon very quickly tonight, and it should be a one-liner to make that control the telescope to make a composite mosaic of the moon.

Very impressed by how Stellarium made it very easy – the script file is just Javascript plus an API. We’re going to have to time the individual shots because there’s no link between the taking of the images and the movement of the telescope.
