  1. from these guys https://www.dewcontrol.com/All_Sky_Cameras/cat3099126_4337324.aspx i sprayed it with matt black paint as you could see its reflection in the dome
  2. v3 is up and installed, temp of the camera sensor is around 27-30 degs which is a lot cooler that it was. RPI4 temp is 28degs so thats all cool also changed the position as when it was high up i was getting too much stray light from local street lights its about as good as i am going to get with my location. last nights video was ok http://myallsky.co.uk/videos/allsky-20191222.mp4
  3. i have used one of these https://ebay.us/jt624V with one of these for the 5v https://ebay.us/VZbNDN
  4. i love the way this forum helps everyone its just so lovely
  5. its ok Gina i was pulling your leg i follow your posts with interest and use a lot of your stuff BIG fan
  6. can you send me a copy of all that 😁😍😊🤞😜
  7. yeah looks that way, even if you connect another wireless dongle it only allows you to share your internet! think you will need to add a wireless access point
  8. i think my allsky cam picked it up at 6.23 http://myallsky.co.uk/videos/allsky-20191203.mp4 that was this morning! can anyone confirm??
  9. as long as the device has the compatible wireless hardware Open Settings. Press the Start. settings... Click or tap the. Network & Internet section. Select Mobile hotspot from the left pane. Choose your settings. Select which connection you want to share under "Share my Internet connection from". ... Toggle on. the slider next to "Share my Internet connection with other devices".
  10. same here if you look at the GPS info tab longitude says 0
  11. Another flaw in my plan is the use of metal screws to hold the heatsink onto it all!! Doh!
  12. No you are right it's not great is it.
  13. Ok so we are going for V3! Added cooling including a peltier! Need to add some vents to the mounting tube so it sucks the air up the tube then out the side of the top. Going to run it up first to see how cool it goes! Hope I have it all the right way round 😁🙄
  14. didn't the US army recently bring back a drone ship that had been in space for several years?
  15. this is a favourite https://aurora247.no/index.html
  16. not sure if anyone else has seen this but you can view quite a few allsky cameras on Thomas Jacquins website very interesting to see the different setups around the world. some amazing time lapses of the northern lights http://www.thomasjacquin.com/allsky-map/
  17. Dont know I just stuck it on and didnt think it would be an issue. But now I will have to address that. I believe it does have an ir filter. It will come down again to sort the cooling so will add it to the list.
  18. I will tweek the focus when I get time but I think the flare is from the moonlight catching the inside of the lens tube. Time will tell.
  19. i have a plan, there is enough space to fit a cooling fan to the underneath of the camera with the peltier sandwiched in between. i will have to create some vents which i didnt really want to do but can cover with a small cowl
  20. yeah i had thought about that. could be the next David Attenborough film entry!
  21. looks like i am going to need to fit the peltier cooling system! currently camera is at 47degrees!!!!
