Things in motion.

Project demos, hardware bring-ups, and the occasional planet. More on YouTube and TikTok.

▍ Engineering & hardware

Motorola Moto X Pure Edition (codename 'clark') running mainline Linux 6.12 with a working framebuffer and eMMC. Long-EOL hardware brought back as a generic Linux device.

Custom telescope mount — overview

Short overview of my custom-built fast-slewing telescope mount, used for ISS and planetary tracking.

Stepper driver & PCB test

Early hardware testing for the custom mount: closed-loop steppers, driver tuning, PCB prototyping in action.

DinoRunner demo (PowerShell terminal game)

Pure PowerShell endless-runner inspired by Chrome's offline dino. ASCII art, sound effects, side-scrolling — all in the terminal.

▍ Astrophotography

Jupiter and Ganymede

Jupiter's rotating cloud belts with Ganymede visible in striking detail — animated to showcase the motion and sharp features of the solar system.

Mars rotation with atmospheric detail

My best capture of Mars to date — rotating planet with surface shading and atmospheric contrast clearly visible.

Aurora Borealis from my backyard

Recorded on a security cam during a geomagnetic storm — a rare vivid aurora lighting up southern Washington skies.

Solar imaging session

Imaging the sun's active surface features in hydrogen-alpha light. Prominences and sunspot regions made vivid through careful tuning and post-processing.
