My Astronomy dashboard

[bthoven (Chote)]

I have a private observatory at home for stargazing. I have recently created a dashboard for a quick overview of what to observe, particularly the planets.

FYI: GitHub - mawinkler/astroweather: Asynchronous Astro Weather Forecast for Home Assistant

and GitHub - partofthething/ha_skyfield: See the apparent positions of the Sun, Moon, and planets in this home assistant custom component

I have an alert set up at astronomical twilight if deep sky seeing is going to be good using the first one.

That looks awesome, especially the ha_skyfield…thanks for sharing

I’ve tried the ha_skyfield. HA created camera.skyfield entity, but it won’t show anything on picture entity card. It did show up briefly once, but never show up again. I config constellation false.

I’m running HA latest version as at end of 2024 (OS and Core) as VM on my unraid server that is powerful enough, I believe.

I follow your instruction on github. I did not install pip3 install skyfield matplotlib numpy

@bthoven

I follow your instruction on github.

It’s not mine. There is a support topic here: Polar plot of the Sun, Moon, a few planets, and the solstices

It works…thanks.
