All-Sky Camera
A Starlight Xpress Oculus All-Sky Camera 150º is set up at the observatory. The camera continuously captures images during the night, with each exposure being up to 59 seconds. The latest image is uploaded to this page and, at the end of the night, the images are assembled into a timelapse video allowing the whole night to be reviewed.
This is the latest image (night-time only).
