Meteor observation can be automatic. No more missed opportunities in cold winter or bad weather. Continuous long-term operation is also possible. Not only meteors and large fireballs, but also satellites, UFOs, lightning, earthquake clouds, etc. can be recorded.
*We recommend resetting the PC once a week because continuous operation for a long period of time may cause the PC to stop due to memory ERROR. A large-capacity storage device is required.
In addition to shooting in suburban areas, the IMX291 with its high infrared sensitivity captures from visible light to the infrared burst range of meteors, making it possible to capture meteors even on nights when there is light pollution, such as in large cities or when there is a full moon.
Provided is the Sky Camera only; PC malfunctions are outside the warranty policy.

Information on photography software】 In order to photograph meteors, a motion monitoring photography function is necessary, but since a part of the meteor will be cut off after the trigger is activated, a prerecord function is necessary. If you use the prerecord function, you can capture the entire meteor stream instantly. If you want to capture meteor trails, you can also specify the number of seconds. Moreover, since only meteors are captured, it consumes almost no hard disk space. Currently, the software that can be downloaded from the NET is: , 【HANDYAVI】 So, if you look overseas, there is a free software called HANDYAVI (free for 30 days, $60 for permanent license) that is officially adopted for all sky cameras by ORION, Inc. in the U.S.A. This software can be tested. We tested with this software and obtained very good results in the meteor shooting mode. It is useful because it can easily and automatically extract meteor parts from the video. There are shooting modes dedicated to time-lapse and meteors. https://www.azcendant.com/ Please use Google's browser translation. There is a detailed explanation of how to use in tutorial. You can read it in Japanese by right-clicking on the page, so I think it is easy to understand. The camera also has strong sensitivity to infrared rays, so even in urban areas, it captures the near-infrared rays when meteors burst, and it can capture meteors well even in fairly bright skies or on a full moon. In urban areas, the background stars do not show up as well as they do in the countryside, but in urban areas, if the JPG image extracted from the movie is contrasted using Photoshop, etc., the stars will also show up quite well. (Please set the sensitivity to manual, not automatic, and use the slider to adjust the visibility.) If you have any questions, please contact us anytime. Features ① Time lapse is possible. ② Meteors are captured as one-shot movies, so the storage capacity is reduced. 2) Thumbnail images of files in which meteors are shot are automatically created, so it is easy to find them. 3) There is a function to find the meteor part from a movie file. (4) You can freely set the time range of shooting from before to after the appearance of meteors, so you don't miss meteor trails, etc. LiveCapture3】 is a live software that can be used with Windows 10, but it can also take pictures of meteors. It has a timer function so you can automate the shooting time. https://lc3.daddysoffice.com/livecapture3/ Notice For long-term unattended observations, it is important to remove moisture from the inside of the dome case. Please add a dehumidifier such as for closets. Because of its large capacity, the dome can be used continuously without maintenance for 6 months to 1 year. |
