Computer-vision star tracker built on Raspberry Pi 4 (Sony IMX500 + BNO055). Uses a YOLOv8 object detection model to locate star centroids, cross-matches detections to a SQLite catalog, and solves attitude with QUEST. Two-mode state machine (Lost-in-Space / Tracking) streams quaternions to a Next.js viewer.
