Hello,
My recent outing to image the ISS transiting the Sun got me thinking about getting an iPad 2 to support these types of mobile projects where I will be setting up away from home/power for a few hours to image a specific event.
The functions I am interested in are:
- Telescope control for Takahashi EM200 Temma II.
- Remote Live View on the iPad 2 screen to assist with focusing.
At a recent meet up with Mike (Iceman) I was also impressed with an application he was running on his iPhone to show the rise/set times and vectors of the Sun and Moon – I think it was called “The Photographer's Ephemeris”.
We do not have mobile ‘phones as our lifestyle does not require them and so the iPad looks as if it might offer the functionality required.
Does anyone use an iPad for the above functions?
Thanks
Dennis
