DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PRECISE REMOTE SYNCHRONIZATION OF SYSTEMS FOR ASTRONOMICAL OBSERVATION

摘要

The invention relates to a system and a method for the remote synchronization of optical systems for sky observation, used for detecting objects on low, medium and high terrestrial orbits. The system, as claimed by the invention, comprises a releasing device (1) which consists of a two-channel GPS receiver (4), a classic one for reading global time and a very precise synchronization signal 1 PPS (Pulse Per Second), a microcontroller board (5), a matricial keyboard (6) available to the user and an LCD display screen (7), a telescope (3) provided with a photo camera (2) being connected to the device (1), in order for them to be released by the device (1) according to a previously loaded exposure software. The method, as claimed by the invention, consists of stages for preparing two devices (1) with an exposure software, for placing said devices in the places where the observations are intended to be carried out, for verifying the GPS signal and satellite synchronization, then making the devices (1) operate in the active mode, connecting the photo cameras (2) to the devices (1) and running the exposure software for capturing images from the telescopes (3).
