Wow! I’m reviewing my sky camera captures and there were some great meteors on the night of the 28th/29th.
@MookyTroubadour sky camera...something like a dashcam with a high capacity card aimed at the sky?
🤔🤔 That's an interesting idea!
@Damobius I use a raspberry pi and raspberry pi cams of various versions. The images you see here are the pic camera v3 with no IR filter. It lives under an acrylic dome and takes 10 second exposures back to back (there is a little lag- intend to get 5 shots per minute). I have everything scripted and it compiles all the still images into a movie for me to download. If you want to give it a go, it’s maybe $150 ish in hardware, and I can share my scripts.
@MookyTroubadour that sounds like a fun project for our 10-year old and I. If it's an easy share without taking too much of your time, I'd certainly be interested in seeing it!
@Damobius it an issue at all. I have several that are pointed in different parts of the sky, and only one is giving me any issue that has to do with making the movie. I’m suspecting it might be because I have the 64 bit OS on that ones. FFMPEG makes the videos, and might not like the 64 bit OS. I continue to poke at it.
@MookyTroubadour I've got a Pi that I haven't used for a decade but it's really ancient, like 1st gen old. There are a ton of alts out now too. Gonna have to start brushing the cobwebs out of my tech brain. You using Python?
