https://documentation.ostserver.fr/en/index.htmlOST is a small server for remote management and control of an astrophotography session. Its modular design allows you to choose and customize the functions you want to control. OST is and will remain an OpenSource project, using other components based on free use.Hugoenhttps://documentation.ostserver.fr/en/presentation/index.htmlMon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://documentation.ostserver.fr/en/presentation/index.htmlWhy “Observatoire Sans Tête”? This name comes from a joke with my friend Bob, which consists of translating word for word “Headless Observatory”. This term captures the intended goal: an autonomous server that can be controlled remotely. What is OST? OST is an autonomous astrophotography platform. It runs as a background service on a dedicated machine — Raspberry Pi, mini-PC, or virtual machine — and is operated from any web browser on the local network, with no screen or keyboard attached to the control machine.https://documentation.ostserver.fr/en/prise-en-main/index.htmlMon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://documentation.ostserver.fr/en/prise-en-main/index.htmlThis section guides the user from the first connection to completing a full imaging session.https://documentation.ostserver.fr/en/install/index.htmlMon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://documentation.ostserver.fr/en/install/index.htmlThis section describes how to install OST on an Ubuntu machine.
