A device using a Raspberry Pi and an Arduino Uno which can point at the position of the sun, moon, planets and galaxies. Users can choose whether they want to visualize the current position, a specific timestamp or a simulation of the trajectory. Parts are self-designed and 3D-printed. More information about this project is available on my website.
