DEVLOG 001
I made the CAD model for the initial front case and got it printed out. It features two screw mounting holes, one hole for the microphone to fit through, one large hole to expose the processing chips to air for cooling, and two side supports to hold the whole PCB in place.

I accidentally made the main tube of the setup with an inner diameter of 1.25 inches rather than an outer diameter of 1.25 inches, so that will be fixed in the V3 model. I also did some minor adjustments to place the screws in the right place, as they were about 1mm off in the first version. Along with the screws, the whole sensor was not centered in the circular hole too, so this change will fix that.

For the V3 design, I will change the 1mm gap, fix the optical tube diameter, and extrude the outer shell further to allow for the back cover to go onto it with a simple push-in lip.

I will also CAD the back cover with proper air vents to allow for more circulation, even though I can’t mount a heatsink onto it easily.

After this, I will test the whole setup in my big dob, as well as the Hadley in daytime, to get everything working, and test the FOV, and then I can try imaging Saturn, or imaging the Moon.
