ThetaSigma Labs is a home lab building open-source tools for astrophotography, 3D printing, and creative making.
The name, ThetaSigma (ΘΣ), is a reference to Doctor Who’s real name d³Σx². Canonically, the Doctor has been referred to as Theta Sigma, the Doctor’s nickname at the Academy on Gallifrey.
The personal dome observatory where images are captured is BadWolf Stellar Cafe — also a nod to The Doctor, and a tribute to the coffee that fuels long imaging sessions.
