I've spent hours to watch Mars in my telescope and using a software for path prediction, hmmm... I am seeing "stars"

So did I, Raghunathan! What a telescope do you have? Did you manage path prediction and motor control by the help of 8052? Would be a nice project...

My telescope contains a mirror of only 4'' in diameter. I can see Mars quite well. But unfortuantely no real relevant details. I try to combine telescope with a CCD in near future, because my interest is to have some nice deep space observations. Does anyone have experience in this? Perhaps even built something containing 8052?

Oh, how I wish to have that mirror of Steve!!!!!!! Deep respect for your skills, Steve!
