Research on Implementing Autonomous Polar Axis Calibration Method
The equatorial mount is a device designed for tracking celestial objects to compensate for the rotation of the Earth.According to research,most primary and secondary school students fail to maintain their interest in astronomy as a hobby due to the complexity of traditional equatorial mount usage.Moreover,the cumbersome and inaccurate process of manual polar axis calibration for equatorial mounts can waste precious night observation time.After studying astronomical theory and analyzing star maps,this project proposes a method for the equatorial mount to achieve autonomous polar axis calibration.Through simulation testing,this method has been proven to effectively improve the speed and accuracy of polar axis calibration,minimizing the difficulty of astronomical observation and photography,thus promoting astronomical science popularization in China.
