This is a fun project that combines a cheap PTZ camera + OpenCV, Kalman filtering, PID control, and digital stabilization to not just snap photos of aircraft flying past, but do rock solid, pixel-level tracking as long as they're in sight.
And it can be combined with a source of ADS-B data so it knows what it's looking at, displaying the info on the OSD.
