This project was started as a project for the 2024 Total Eclipse. The sensor measures the ambient light level of the entire sky. The 3D print models housed the electronics to ensure the three light sensors were pointed orthogonal to each other. Data from the eclipse can be used for calculating the limb darkening of the edge of the Sun's Atmosphere, which can be used to show temperature gradients of the sun's atmospheric layers. The original inspiration was Matt Parker (https://youtu.be/IuUMxNfDfFY?si=I3tjI6WgIedK-s91). This project is designed to be a simple project to perform a real measurement simple scientific measurements and the post experiment data analysis. The electronics are meant to be entry level and easy to setup. All of the parts are meant to snap together and no hardware is required to hold anything. Minimal supports are required. The whole project is documented here: https://gitlab.com/spaceengine-projects/eclipse_telescopeThis includes the BOM and the code for t
