Intelligent Star finder contains building of Automated Star Finder using Arduino and integration with deep learning technologies to locate and observe astronomical objects in the dark sky. The setup includes a camera attached to span and tilt devices controlled through an assembly of servos mounted on an Arduino system which then takes output; the images of the sky. These images were visualized through a laptop or an onboard microcontroller which is able of performing deep learning tasks. As deep learning requires training on prerequisite data, an underlying dataset comprising star maps and star systems is leveraged by training purposes where in the on-board system parses and pin point stars, galaxies, and even constellations from the footage. The system will be using the information from the deep learning image recognition model and directs the camera to the expected position to find star and its location. This automated process allows searching to be done in continuous and accurate manner which can be us din applications regarding education and practical astrophotography. Such an apparatus might be very convenient and helpful to gather the information about star; its constellation patterns through advanced technologies like deep learning and its desirable hardware setup
