Telescope Pointing & Automation

Automate telescope pointing to the moon with precise position coordinates.

The problem

Observatory and amateur telescope systems need accurate celestial coordinates to automatically point at and track the moon. Manual pointing is time-consuming and imprecise.

The solution

Feed real-time moon position data directly into your telescope control software. Get precise altitude and azimuth for alt-az mounts, plus parallactic angle for equatorial mount alignment.

Everything this unlocks.

Precise coordinates for automated pointing
Parallactic angle for mount alignment
Distance data for focus calculations
Real-time tracking updates

Working code, ready to paste.

const res = await fetch("https://api.apiverve.com/v1/moonposition?lat=37.7749&lon=-122.4194&date=01-16-2026&time=14%3A30", {
  headers: { "x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY" },
});
const { data } = await res.json();
console.log(data);

Ship telescope pointing & automation faster. One key, the Moon Position API, and 300+ more APIs.
