I never expected to be posting in the astrophotography forum, but this recent do-it-yourself project is too cool not to share:

Pi-lomar - 3D Printed Working Miniature Observatory Using Raspberry Pi

Complete instructions with parts lists, .STL files, and YouTube videos.

That’s adorable. I’d take it with me out to the Mesa area, put it on a boulder and do Macro photos to make it look real! I have several Macro lenses. I could even do a macro timelapse of it working at night! :joy:
