How andriymelnykov/electronic_eyepiece_for_cdk20 works
This repository documents and provides hardware for an electronic telescope eyepiece: 3D-printable mechanical parts, example calibration/configuration files, and Arduino keyboard firmware. The documented observing workflow sends telescope-camera images to external PC-based EAA software for live stacking, then presents the result through the eyepiece. The PC application is explicitly a separate project; no source excerpts were supplied, so internal processing and hardware wiring are not mapped.
