US 2020/0288106 A1 · REMOTE DISPLAY AND CONTROL SYSTEM FOR TELESCOPE

Abstract

A telescope remote display and control system for viewing objects through a telescope and controlling the telescope remotely includes a wearable display, a manual controller, a camera, an mechanical adjuster, and an integration system, all of which are electrically interconnected. In the preferred embodiment, the camera, mechanical adjuster, and integration system are all attached to a target telescope and tripod assembly, while the wearable display and manual controller are positioned remotely. The integration system operates as the control hub, allowing a user to view images from the telescope with the wearable display by way of signals from the camera and control the positioning of the telescope with the manual controller through manipulation of the mechanical adjuster.
