⭐️ Python among the stars: automating an Astronomical Observatory

The automated management of astronomical observatories faces a series of complex challenges.
Python, with its vast array of libraries and tools, offers extraordinary potential to tackle these challenges. This talk explores the main difficulties in the automated management of observatories, including the integration of various control systems, calibration and monitoring of instruments.

Nicola Montecchiari works as a QA technical leader for a digital marketing company. He is known for his pioneering work in the field of deep sky photography and the automated management of astronomical observatories. He has published numerous articles and tutorials on techniques for processing astronomical images and calibrating star colors. With his passion for astronomy and his technical expertise, Nicola continues to inspire and guide astronomers and astrophotographers.
