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.

@VonBraunAstroSociety Месяц назад

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...
