Scientists from the Southern Federal University (SFU) have developed a device for automatic control of amateur telescopes, which allows observing any objects in the solar system, Izvestia reported on June 30.
Maxim Khisamutdinov, a researcher at the SFU Research Institute of Multiprocessor Computing Systems, said that for small observatories that do not have funds for professional equipment, it is possible to monitor any moving objects in the Solar System, orbiting satellites and the ISS to be able to obtain your images with very high clarity.
“We completely replaced the electronics and software that controls the movement of the telescope. You can now change the motor speed 50 times per second. Standard equipment allows you to do this only 1 or 2 times per second. Thanks to the modification, the device can target an object with an accuracy of up to 20 microradians.”– said the specialist.
According to him, such precision corresponds to a technology that is no longer for amateurs. The developed system can take 300 photos per second.
It should be noted that the program has an integrated neural network that classifies artificial aircraft.
