Allsky

I build cameras with Raspberry Pi computers to watch the sky so I don't have to. It's mainly about meteors, but also whatever else happens to pop up. Two cameras report here, and two others report to "Mt. Davidson" in the menu above. Left-hand here is a fisheye lens with a 360-degree view. North is up, West is to the right. Right-hand is a 16mm lens, with a much more zoomed-in view. Right now it's pointed south and about 70-degrees up, to catch T Coronae Borealis, a recurrent nova expected to become naked-eye visible when it goes nova sometime (probably) between now and September. During the day right-hand camera looks pretty abstract; you're seeing zoomed-in clouds and blue sky mainly.

A year's worth of keograms, July 2022 to July 2023. It's foggy a lot in San Francisco.
