Autonomous software infrastructure for the 1140 unit massively distributed MOTHRA observatory
We describe the autonomous observing software powering MOTHRA, a distributed aperture array of 1140 high end telephoto lenses equipped with tiltable ultra-narrow interference filters, CMOS cameras, and Raspberry Pi computers. When completed, the system will be optically-equivalent to a 4.8m f/0.08 refractor with an eig...
