  55. I started cooking up another personal software project this weekend. I am going to play around with the ideas of the Celestron StarSense phone app and the PiFinder kit, and work toward a plate solving push-to astronomy aid. #PiFinder #StarSense #astronomy #AstronomySoftware #PlateSolver

    I have no previous mobile stack experience, so that is new and a bit daunting. Lots of C++, Dart/Flutter, CMake and Python in this project. I am pretty capable with #ComputerVision pipelines, but plate solving and the size of the databases needed is also new.

    Should be fun.
