![]() My current issue is setting it up on my website. So on the Rasberry Pi side with cam, I am able to do everything as I can see the files stored on the Raspberry PI Folders. (I plan on using another ZWO cam as that is my guide cam at the moment Either a ZWO120mm or 224mc I can’t decide yet lol). Now I built by All sky setup running a Rasberry 4PI and testing with my ZWO290mm camera. Incidentally, I also spent several days in Whitehorse on my Yukontour in 2013. We would be very happy to receive tips and information. We also installed the latest version of your software last week. ![]() The only problem is uploading the mp4 file to our server.ĭespite checking all settings, the file is not downloaded to the server. The camera takes pictures in the dark and generates a video at the end of the night. The Raspberry-PI3 is located in the observatory and the camera in a heated housing on the roof. Last year I built an Allsky camera according to your plan for our observatory. Would you be interested in collaboration as I attempt to move forward with the CAMS and Skysentineal teams. ![]() So my second build will hopefully be based on that since it will allow the collection of scientific data besides just imaging. I would just forwarded information about swedish and croatian team that are using the ASI cameras with raspberry Pi’s much like yours. Currently they use CCTV cameras but seem to be interested in the progress of the ASI cameras. I have been in talks with CAMS and SkySentinel, both NASA network meteor monitoring projects. I would be interested to discuss your project more if you like. I am having to use a program called HANDYAvi for camera control which works pretty well but I don’t seem to get quiet the clarity that you are, due to different codecs possibly. At the moment it is usb wired to a desktop just inside my roll off roof observatory. I have used a pvc weatherproof enclosure box from Lowes with an added acrylic dome, a thermostatically controlled brush-less fan and heater. I too am using the ASI224mc with the stock fish-eye lens that cam with the camera. This is a very impressive build! I wish I had saw this before I started my build although I saw some similar. This is an example of what a time lapse looks like. After that, it generates a time lapse video of the night and uploads it as well. The camera starts at civil sunset, captures a 5second exposure image every 10 seconds and uploads it to a page on this website. The maximum distance of the device is only dictated by the range of your wifi. Only a main power cable comes out of the camera. The bottom cap can be open to access the computer and camera. A hole is cut in the top one to accommodate the lens and an acrylic dome is screwed over the lens. The enclosure of the camera consists of a 4″ ABS pipe with 1 end cap and 1 threaded end cap. I added a USB wifi dongle to transfer images from the computer to the wireless router. This is somewhat limiting when you want to put a camera on a roof. Instead, I decided to bring the computer inside the camera enclosure by using a small but fairly powerful computer. ![]() This means that your camera can’t be more than 5 meters away from your computer. The maximum length for USB 2.0 cables is around 5m. This camera uses USB to communicate with a computer. I was inspired by Martin Lewis all sky camera which he built using an ASI120 astronomy camera. I borrowed the idea from AuroraMax but I didn’t want to spend too much money in the construction so I chose to use a small USB camera instead of a large and expensive DSLR. During winter, when the sky is clear, we can often witness northern lights above Whitehorse, YT. I wanted to capture these aurora events and share them with family and friends so I decided to create a camera that would live stream a view the sky on the internet.
