I love the use of conductors as the frame!  This is one of the most interesting things I've seen on Hackaday in a long time.  Forget thinking outside the box, there is no box!  LOL.

i cand vind the TM1637Display libery Where can i vind it

Hello. I made the prototype, inserted the Arduino code but the display remains all illuminated or sometimes turns off and does not give me the moon phases. I checked the code and everything looks fine. What mistake can I have made? Thank you for your help.

Hi!

In my experience, the display goes blank or gets illuminated when the GPS signal is lost. I currently don't have an error code to display so it just goes blank. Try to put it near a window where it can get a clear signal. I hope this helps!

Grazie, ho provato come mi hai detto  funziona, ma il display si illumina completamente con tutti i LED accesi non mi  riporta i simboli luna piena un quarto di luna ecc.

Excellent project, it works, as far as I am concerned I have only one difficulty, that I am not able to correct the arduino code to calculate the local time. I am a hobby beginner. Thank

Hello

I prototyped your project and it works great, I added a DHT11 to show temp and humidity, the only issue that I encountered is that the time was not coming up correctly based on my location (Eastern Time) and I was not able to fix the math,  so I just added a piece of code  to manipulate the UTC to calculate the local time for display, moon phases coming up correctly.

Thanks for posting it 

¿Cómo puedo establecer que en el momento correcto

Interesting idea and project to try. Your explanation of declination (DEC) is hard to follow. It sounds like you are confusing DEC with altitude. DEC is 0 degrees when a celestial object is on the celestial equator (not the horizon). When it is +30 degrees it lies a third of the way northward toward the north celestial pole, essentially Polaris. I’ve been looking for a good sidereal time implementation for Arduino. Thanks.

My quick method for straightening wire: one end held in the bench vice, the other end in a pair of pliers. Yank the pliers. Usually, the wire breaks at the end held in the vice, but the piece left dangling from the pliers is straight.. If it didn't get broken (with a thick wire for example), cut with side cutters. Easier and quicker to do than to describe...

Very nice clock, and I'm keen on making one.

This is a nice Astroclock I have just tested your cod and all work ok.

I will start to make my self one and put it on my work bench.

Thank you keep up the good work 100%.

You really like building clocks, don't you? :) You should start posting your projects, even if you "just" build projects by others. It's always nice to see the personal touch other people give to their variation!

Nice job! Impressively straight support wires given that you were starting with coiled wire. I really like the riser section for the lunar display. Good luck in the contest!

What I find even more appealing to the eye is the mix of deep orange and deep red color of the displays. I imagine there's not much more visible in a totally dark room than those two displays, I mean nothing of the circuit?

Awesome!

Yess I love the colors! 

There is a blue led blinking from the GPS module. Which is annoyingly bright. I should disable it somehow.. 

@Görkem yeah, just remove the resistor in series with the LED. It's easier to add back an SMD resistor than an LED usually...

Thanks for the tip! I'll try that.

Thank you! I found some methods that jewelry makers use to straighten the wire:

I used both of them. They work fine.
