Is there any information on the pro version out there? When I try to download it goes to the PayPal payment page first so would like to know a bit more about the pro version before committing. Anyone help?

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!

Ok Thanks! So the -e 30000 and -e60000 is basically -e20000 (that's the max Meteotux PI can do with HQ camera) But that -g (gain) and the -d (stack duration) does the job here and looks good!
Cheers!

Why would i use this software over this one?
https://www.instructables.com/Wireless-All-Sky-Camera/
Its 100% free and comes with a nice web interface and is open source and works with other cameras.
There's also a version for the HD camera.
https://github.com/RobboRob/allsky
By stacked images you mean converting an image sequence to time lapse video or star trails video?
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!

Cheers!

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£

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!
