Hi! Just a little update here. If you use Raspberry Pi OS (bullseye) and try to run Meteotux PIyou will get error Error: Camera maximum exposure time is 0 ms To fix this you need to enable Legacy Camera support. Use sudo raspi-config select Interface Options and enable Legacy Camera support and after reboot Meteotux PI will run ok. Cheers!

Hi! In https://www.meteotuxpi.com theres information in faq What difference is between basic version of Meteotux PI and PRO version? : Free version has limited max output image size to 2592x1952 pixels. See chart below. : Options to remove logo and image flipping. And there will be more options later Cheers! Konkelo

Oh WOW really impressive! What Meteotux PI options did you use? Cheers!

Last night i got same meteor with 2 Raspberry Pi cameras. First image is taken with Raspberry Pi V2 camera and second all sky image is with HQ camera. Meteotux Pi options used: V2 camera "./meteotuxpi -d 120 -e7000 -g4" and with HQ "./meteotuxpi -d60 -e10000 -g4" Both images are cropped. Cheers!

Oh that was my typo Cheers!

That software you found lose frames when capturing images. And looks like it needs a lot more time to install and get it to work compared to Meteotux PI when you only need that program and simply run it. But if you like to use web interface you should use it And by stacked images Meteotux PI does it automatically. Here is one example of 10 minute image stack. Original image here Command: ./meteotux_pi_pro -d 600 -e 10000 -g 5 Cheers!

No i haven't. Will try it with my second HQ camera. Please post some images taken with Meteotux PI later when you make that setup and got some meteors etc.. Nice image! Cheers!

Hi! Here's some new videos i have made with raspberry pi + raspberry pi HQ camera + Meteotux PI stacked images.

But still got some images with stars! I'am using Raspberry HQ camera. Heres one image. Had to crop it from 4064 x 3040 to fit here Link to original image Cheers! Konkelo

Hi! My friend Jani made a program to Raspberry Pi to capture night sky events with cheap hardware. Meteotux Pi creates a stacked images and it doesn't lose frames doing it. For example taking 10 minute image or even 1 hour image that has every frame camera has captured the time period. There is 2 versions of program one is free and has image resolution max size 2592 x 1952 pixels. With HQ camera and pro version you can get stunning 4064 x 3040 pixels. The cost of PRO version is 30€ (27£) Check out his website here https://www.meteotuxpi.com Here's one image with bright meteor taken from my DIY all sky camera with Raspberry Pi and HQ camera. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zPUMY6VifSRwnt_gAr31yJHliqHsorbJ/view Equipment cost was: HQ camera 53£ raspberry pi zero w 9£ 32gb micro sd card 17.5£ power adapter 9£ Acryl dome 18£ PVC pipe 9£ Total cost 115£ Cheers!
