2. GoTo (telescopes) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GoTo_(telescopes)

   In amateur astronomy, "GoTo" refers to a type of telescope mount and related software that can automatically point a telescope at astronomical objects that the user selects. Both axes of a GoTo mount are driven by a motor and controlled by a computer. It may be either a microprocessor-based integrated controller or an external personal computer.

3. Remote head (camera) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remote_head_(camera)

   Remote heads are critical in motion-control camera systems that are used for match moving, repeatable moves, and integration with movie computer-generated imagery for visual effects. Remote heads differ from pan–tilt–zoom cameras in that they are independent of the camera itself and thus can function with many different camera models and ...

4. Altazimuth mount - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altazimuth_mount

   In the largest telescopes, the mass and cost of an equatorial mount is prohibitive and they have been superseded by computer-controlled altazimuth mounts. [5] The simple structure of an altazimuth mount allows significant cost reductions, in spite of the additional cost associated with the more complex tracking and image-orienting mechanisms. [6]

5. Motion control photography - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_control_photography

   Other effects are often used along with motion control, such as chroma key to aid the compositing. Motion control camera rigs are also used in still photography with or without compositing; for example in long exposures of moving vehicles. [1] [2] Today's computer technology allows the programmed camera movement to be processed, such as having ...

6. Motion control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_control

   The photographer added in camera movement (motion control) by mounting the camera on a computerized telescope mount tracking in a random direction off the normal equatorial axis. Motion control is a sub-field of automation , encompassing the systems or sub-systems involved in moving parts of machines in a controlled manner.

7. Pan–tilt–zoom camera - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pan–tilt–zoom_camera

   A pan-tilt-zoom camera can be controlled remotely via computer software, or manually by a person to recognize patterns and individuals. PTZ cameras can zoom in, pan widely in all directions, and tilt up and down utilizing servomotors to change the image captured.
