I got this board free from a giveaway like 2 years ago (Thanks HaD for publicizing!) and finally decided on a use for it: a "push-to" telescope computer. Attach to your existing scope, set the time and location, look up a space object, and it'll use...

Hello! I have read HAD for years. I love the projects and creativity of the people around the world. I rarely mess with anything electronic at any sort of micro level. I hope this is OK to post here. The other day, a friend of a friend asked me to look...
