They were at ALCON. But why would we want one. We can see the conditions when we're there. That's better than a camera. The marketing purpose of the camera is for remote observatory use to show weather status and cloud cover. We're right there. We are not remote. Who cares about the meteor recording? Do we care about that as a club? Just because it's available doesn't mean we need one. Siegfried On Wed, Jul 13, 2011 at 12:12 PM, Tyler Allred <tylerallred@earthlink.net>wrote:
Patrick, I am not intimately familiar with that camera, but I think that those folks were at ALCON. I spoke with them about it and they said that the software (an optional purchase) will start recording when it detects a meteor or other bright moving object. He said that it often get planes, satellites, etc., but that you can review them later and delete the false alarms to save disk space. I am considering one for my observatory. It look pretty cool and seems like it might be a great addition to SPOC. Cheers, Tyler

Anyone here happen to be familiar with this all sky cam?

There was talk at last evening's SLAS meeting about possibly installing one at SPOC for recoding meteors. But we were not sure how one goes about recording the images.
Any thoughts?
