Meg Conley leads technical education initiatives at Pocket Observatory, developing resources for astronomy education and citizen science through accessible robotic telescope systems. She specializes in The Watcher platform, a Raspberry Pi-based portable telescope that enables tracking and imaging of the International Space Station, planets, and deep space objects. Her work includes creating documentation and support materials that help users implement open-source astronomical tools. The Watcher system represents a convergence of educational technology, amateur astronomy, and open-source hardware development. The platform integrates automated observation capabilities with STEM curriculum support materials. Pocket Observatory's technical framework allows users to capture and analyze astronomical data using standardized protocols. Conley's contributions focus on three core areas: technical documentation for telescope operation, educational resource development for astronomy instruction, and implementation support for citizen science projects. She maintains user guides and troubleshooting documentation for The Watcher's observation protocols. Her materials address telescope calibration, imaging procedures, and data collection methods.
