amazing project! thanks for sharing
Great work 💯
what is the point of these cams? Do they give you wx or cloud reports or something?
Capturing meteors is one of the big ones. There is a whole network of people across the UK with them who feed data into a group looking to pinpoint meteorite landings. A couple of years ago there was a bright meteor (fireball) observed in the S of England. Within a couple of hours a landing area of a square Km was worked out and the next day significant portions of a very rare type of meteorite were recovered. Thats one use.
This is a great project, but the cameras pricing kill the community adoption pretty quickly. You should show the raspberry pi HQ cameras, much cheaper and are easier to source.
We used the ZWO camera because it is more sensitive and better for capturing faint meteors, but maybe the newer HQ cameras are good enough now.
I understand the why for using the zwo cameras. They are built for this. But they cost anything from 150 euros to 600 euros. A pi hq camera costs 50 euros, anyone can get one, and get results. This is a lot more interesting for the army of people with a pi and a pi camera at home, because they don’t need to buy anything else, and they can try the software and see if they like it. That increases the ease of adoption tremendously.
@@VonBraunAstroSociety I tried to use the Pi cameras and had no luck. They were not recognized by the Raspberry for whatever reason. I ended up with the ASI178MC that works fine. I also found the camera on sale so that was a win...
