Barn Door Tracker


I spent the afternoon constructing a "barn door tracker" for astro-photography. It's a contraption meant to keep the camera pointed at the star you're aiming at, compensating for the earth's rotation, and preventing star trails. I'm hoping to try it out tonight if the sky remains clear, and IF I can haul my sleepy bones out of bed after moonset, which happens at 3:01 a.m.
