Do you have an RSS feed just for the astronomy posts on your blog?

No, but that should be quite straightforward to add with Astro, I will check that.

  Edit : it seems that I now do have one : https://lucassifoni.info/blog/tag/astronomy/rss.xml 
I am not an RSS user myself, I tested it with an online reader and it should be working.

Thank you for the links and the write-up!

I'll share them with a friend who loves astronomy and who loves to organize star-gazing events that he livens up with his Unistellar telescope.

Very cool, thanks for sharing! Any ideas of adding 2 gimbal motors to this for GOTO? MS6010v3 or something lighter would seem like a good fit.
