AstroBook Day 2 – Software Install

Posted on 30/07/202230/07/2022 By Damien No Comments on AstroBook Day 2 – Software Install
Astronomy, Damien

In my last post I got my old MacBook Pro up and running with Linux and cobbled together a network connection so that I could install my camera control software of choice, Entangle. I chose Entangle because it would apparently work with my camera, and was included in the Debian repositories, so installation should be … Read More “AstroBook Day 2 – Software Install” »

I like messing with stuff and seeing what I can make it do. Computers, electronics, photography are my main hobbies, but I also enjoy bike riding, gel blasting and music.

I’ve just realised that it’s been nearly 6 months since my last post. There I was, raring to go with building a Linux install from scratch, and obstacle after obstacle got in the way.
