It requires the\nmatching open-source telescope hardware and Raspberry Pi backend, which are\npart of the same project. The app talks only to a device you run yourself on\nyour own network — it contacts no external servers and collects no data.\n\nBuilt as a school demonstrator for radio astronomy.\n","categories":["Science & Education"]}
