Here is my home made Astro Sky Cam I built today.

I wonder why I posted it on a Jimny page?

Hi Martin,

I have need running an All Sky Camera for several years now, it uploads every 5 minutes to www.drrobin.co.uk .

Note no Jimnys were harmed during the making of this camera.

Website looks good.

My camera is here: -  www.lines-associates.com/allsky/

It is off/on as I experiment with it and get the different functions to work and also will move around (and show the inside of my study if it is switched on while i play with it)

Your camera seems to be working fine just now, which software are you using?.

I am on my second all sky camera, the first was a mono but not good in low light. I moved to a colour imaging source camera I had spare and rebuilt the housing. Software is AstroVideo running a custom script to go to 65 second exposure and will capture the main stars on a clear night.

 

The box in front is a cloud/rain sensor and the dome white dome behind is my smallish observatory complete with computer controlled 10” RC imaging scope.
