But it\u2019s hard, if not impossible, to constantly keep an eye out for Northern Lights, meteors or just knowing if the sky is clear or not. For several years I\u2019ve had an idea of building an allsky camera that always keeps an eye on the sky for me, but I never got around to build one until now.<\/p>\n<p>I started the build project in late August by ordering the camera I\u2019ve found suited my needs the best, a ZWO ASI178MC. The camera arrived in mid September and since then I\u2019ve been building and testing my ideas step by step, and now one month later the camera is installed and ready to help me out.<\/p>\n<p>You have several different options for controlling an allsky camera. I choose to use a Raspberry Pi and use the <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/thomasjacquin\/allsky\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Allsky software<\/a> developed by Thomas Jacquin, a very competent and flexible software. The first thing I did was to test just the camera, Pi and the software to get the basics up and

For that my plan was to get weather data from a sensor and feed that data into the Pi. I bought a RPI Relay Board and a DHT22 temperature and humidity sensor for the Pi.

The Allsky software continuously captures at a interval of your choosing. I&#8217;m choosing to take a image every 30 second throughout the night (And day, but I choose not to save those, just use them as a live view). At the end of the night, the Allsky software runs a series of scripts producing different materials of your choice. Besides all the still images you can also get a timelape, keogram (Explained below) and a startrail image for each night.<\/p>\n<p>There are also different modules you can install and one that I&#8217;ve installed is a module that can detect meteors in images and save those images separately.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s an example of what the Allsky software can produce. This clip shows some amazing Northern Ligthts that was visible on the 25th of November 2023.\u00a0<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-cb8d604 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"cb8d604\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8836aef\" data-id=\"8836aef\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4b8331f elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"4b8331f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;hosted&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-hosted-video elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<video class=\"elementor-video\" src=\"https:\/\/astrofotografen.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Aurora_Allsky_20231125_1080.mp4\" controls=\"\" preload=\"metadata\" controlsList=\"nodownload\" poster=\"https:\/\/astrofotografen.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Aurora_Allsky_20231125_1080_Cover.jpg\"><\/video>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-53ce741 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"53ce741\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3dd44d1\" data-id=\"3dd44d1\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a6ea0b8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a6ea0b8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Another thing that the Allsky software produces is a image called Keogram.

I\u2019m super happy with the final result! Everything works great and I\u2019m really enjoying following what\u2019s happening in the sky above me, even when I\u2019m asleep. The Allsky software is taking care of all the capturing and creation of material for me to enjoy each morning. It&#8217;s so much fun to go through a nights material to see if something interesting was happening.<\/p>\n<p>But the best thing with this camera is that I can keep track of when Northern Lights is actually showing so I can go out and take photos of them. I can also monitor clouds while doing long deepsky photography sessions which really helps evaluating the captured data.<\/p>\n<p>I had some problem with reflections from bright street lights etc. but with some tape I managed to block them out. I can also confirm that the dome handles snow and cold weather really well. The last few weeks we&#8217;ve got more than 50-60 cm of snow and the heater is able to melt the snow resonable quick. And my installation allows me to easily take the camera down if I need to fix something or clean the dome from snow or ice if needed.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So, in the end this was a really fun project and and super happy with the final result. Really looking forward to following what&#8217;s happening in the sky and who know, maybe I&#8217;ll catch some nice meteors now that the Geminid meteor shower is just around the corner.<\/p>\n<p>Clear skies!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-8e46b33 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"8e46b33\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-cb825c6\" data-id=\"cb825c6\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-236c1d8 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"236c1d8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-f4ffb4c elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"f4ffb4c\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4c7dc49\" data-id=\"4c7dc49\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d9a1467 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d9a1467\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Gear used for the build<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">&#8211; Camera ZWO ASI178MC<br \/>&#8211; 180-degree FOV 1\/2\u201d 1.55mm f2 CS mount<br \/>&#8211; Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.5<br \/>&#8211; RPi Relay Board<br \/>&#8211; DHT22 Digital Sensor<br \/>&#8211; Allsky Camera Dew Heater Module<br \/>&#8211; DC to DC Converter Regulator 12V to 5V 3A 15W Power Supply<br \/>&#8211; Allsky Camera Dome 3.5\u201d<br \/>&#8211; Casing IP66 box<br \/>&#8211; Allsky software<\/p>\n<p>As for power I\u2019m using a 230v to 12v converter inside with a smart wall socket that I control via Internet if the system for some reason needs to be restarted when I\u2019m not at home.\u00a0<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As an astrophotographer I\u2019m always keeping an eye on the sky to see whats going on.
