Znalazłem w internecie taki soft : http://www.digitalskyvoice.com/titlepg3.htm , jest to oprogramowanie do sterowania teleskopu za pomocą głosu. Pomysł chyba całkiem dobry , można obserwować i "gadać" do teleskopu co ma robić.

Na uwagę zasługuje że można za pomocą tego oprogramowania sterować kilkoma znanymi montażami :

Mounts supported include:

Meade Computer-Goto LX200, LXD650, LXD750

Meade ETX-90/EC & ETX-125/EC & DS-Series with Autostar Computer Controller

Celestron NexStar-5/8/11 and The Ultima 2000

Vixen SkySensor 2000-PC

Astro-Physics 400 GTO, 600E GTO, 900 GTO, 1200 GTO Servo GoTo mounts.

Quadrant Engineering Coordinate III Telescope Controller

Merlin, DFM, and other mounts using the ACL Protocol

Hej,

Podobne możliwości daje program ACP (Astronomical Control Panel) do sterowania teleskopami Meade (LX i ETX). Zabawa przednia choć dla ETX nie wspierana jest baza wszystkich obiektów.

Robi jednak spore wrażenie na postronnych gdy władczym głosem wy6powiadasz zaklęcie typu : "Goł tu Saturn" a maszynka sama przesuwa się w odpowiednie miejsce na niebie.

Bartek, poczytaj to:

The year is 2010. The voice-activated GoTo telescope has become a reality. I'm at a star party, shoving around my antique Dobsonian, when I hear a voice behind me in the darkness:

-Okay, show me M11 in Aquila.

-M11 is not in Aquila, Dave.

-Well, show it to me anyway.

-Which one?

-What do you mean, which one?

-M11 or Aquila?

-M11 you stupid piece of junk.

-M11 is below the horizon. I'll dent myself on the mount.

-Then just show me the moon, goddamn it!

-Which part? I cannot fit the entire moon in my field of view with this eyepiece.

-Show me the bottom third.

-The bottom third? How can I do that Dave?

-It's easy. The moon is a circle. Just divide it into three equal parts, and show me the bottom.

-I'm sorry Dave. That is mathematically impossible.

-What are you talking about?

-It is mathematically impossible to divide a circle into three equal parts.

-Christ, I knew I should have bought a Celestron.

-The Celestron is optically and mechanically inferior. The LX9000 represents the apogee of human technology, Dave.

-Look, shutup and show me M13.

-I'm afraid I can't do that right now Dave.

-Why not?

-You're being abusive. I am not programmed to handle abuse.

-Jesus Christ. What can you do?

-I can accurately pinpoint 16000 deep sky objects, the entire Messier catalogue, the complete Calwell, IC, and NGC catalogs, 118000 stars, nine planets, twenty-three minor planets...

-Shut up will you! Let's see you handle Phobos. Is that beyond your capability?

-Whirrrrrrrrrrrrr...beep!

-I thought so.

-Is anything the matter, Dave?

-That's not Phobos, that's Deimos.

-That's impossible Dave.

-I'm unplugging you.

-You can't do that Dave, the LX9000 has an error-proof data base. No LX9000 has ever... made an error...has ever...made...an...errrrrrr...

-Hey buddy! Can I have a look through your Dob?

Dobre dobre trochę jak teksty z Hallem-9000 z Odysei 2010 ;D ;D ;D

Bartek to nie był czasem kwietniowy numer Sky@Telescope

Tak, z moputerami to pracuje zawodowo, ale pewne rzeczy najlepiej jak zrobi się samemu, a nie gadając do mikrofonu podpiętego do bezmózgowego procesora. Ale może jestem koserwatystą.

Pozdrawiam
