Would it be possible to develop a functional telescope control application with modern AI-assisted development techniques and Vibe Coding? How far can these tools take us before we need to take control? Can we take control?

In this presentation, we will explore how much help Vibe Coding and AI-assisted development can be in the non-trivial task of building an application that controls a telescope. We will also investigate whether AI can help us integrate voice control, and whether we can enable the application to guide us through the night sky.

Finally, we will compare how useful AI tools are when developing in different programming languages and explore whether the choice of LLM makes a difference. As an added bonus, you might also learn a thing or two about telescopes.
