A Starlight Xpress Oculus All-Sky Camera 150ยบ 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. ## Last Night's Video [ ![Last Night's Video](https://astronomy.org.gg/user/pages/03.allskycamera/02._all-sky-text/AllSkyPlay.jpg "Play last night's timelapse") ](https://astronomy.org.gg/user/media/AllSkEye/latestvideo.mp4)This is a timelapse of the sky as it was last night. ## All-Sky Gallery [ ![Aurora Timelapse](https://astronomy.org.gg/images/7/d/8/6/1/7d861ff0d0a4ad63b45f091768e72a8a4b707107-auroraplay.jpg "Aurora Timelapse") ](https://astronomy.org.gg/user/pages/03.allskycamera/03._all-sky-gallery/aurora.mp4) [ ![A Clear Sky](https://astronomy.org.gg/images/d/8/8/8/a/d888a1095b870e6df211f9a7ad8bdc3dd230ac63-image008.jpg "A Clear Sky") ](https://astronomy.org.gg/images/a/7/3/8/d/a738d7b91a271b6ce0dc105238536106c9f4db8f-image008.jpg) [ ![International Space Station](https://astronomy.org.gg/images/0/1/8/3/d/0183de6077b5ddb74309b4c1a18d9d86ea00ee9a-image010.jpg "International Space Station") ](https://astronomy.org.gg/images/b/0/1/b/8/b01b8d0ee560d2676661fd6bfc4a419bf685b49d-image010.jpg) [ ![Flashing Lights from an Aircraft](https://astronomy.org.gg/images/6/c/4/b/8/6c4b8814147195380fe657806f3bf2140f442e4c-image012.jpg "Flashing Lights from an Aircraft") ](https://astronomy.org.gg/images/d/d/8/1/3/dd8135959847fa156b9d11f28e403d81814b8742-image012.jpg) [ ![Iridium 56 flare](https://astronomy.org.gg/images/7/0/b/e/c/70bec61b4ee69f6ff3a0c08280d370c3bbbd5a8a-image014.jpg "Iridium 56 flare") ](https://astronomy.org.gg/images/f/1/b/e/a/f1bea87a93ba1b5d059f4a422d66ccfc211e979b-image014.jpg) [ ![Fireball (a very bright meteor) ](https://astronomy.org.gg/images/5/f/5/8/5/5f5850b3ebc3d2e585fd69061ee61cd8c9413cad-image016.jpg "Fireball (a very bright meteor) ") ](https://astronomy.org.gg/images/9/6/0/3/7/96037faee1b8c0b3738d0fd96bf9a6b71316977e-image016.jpg) [ ![A Barn Owl on the Camera ](https://astronomy.org.gg/images/0/8/9/0/d/0890d7cc619f1f4e9b5d429e5227e454cde3b4c0-image018.jpg "A Barn Owl on the Camera ") ](https://astronomy.org.gg/images/a/7/b/0/1/a7b01c2fb5ff4faacb8d2137e496bea6572a69d4-image018.jpg) [ ![A Barn Owl on the Camera ](https://astronomy.org.gg/images/8/6/6/9/2/86692a8fce0c3e6a3b03e701c88cffaa736631c3-image020.jpg "A Barn Owl on the Camera ") ](https://astronomy.org.gg/images/0/1/4/4/2/01442d3b4e368ed88f278184180eab46739c56a2-image020.jpg) An aurora was captured on our all-sky camera on the 10th May 2024.

North is up, east left and west right. 2-minute exposure. 28 September 2011, 2-minute exposure. 28 November 2011, 45-second exposure. 15 October 2011. These used to be caused by reflective surfaces on satellites in the Iridium network. The fireball was observed by Daniel Carvill on 13 November 2011, who described it as large, green, very bright, and visible for about 5 seconds. A regular visitor, using the camera as a convenient perch. The image shows it as a ghostly outline, as it was present for only part of the 2-minute exposure. Shows the Barn Owl in detail in a 17-second exposure on a cloudy night. - [Home](https://astronomy.org.gg/) - Gallery - [The Moon](https://astronomy.org.gg/gallery/the-moon) - [The Planets](https://astronomy.org.gg/gallery/the-planets) - [Comets & Meteors](https://astronomy.org.gg/gallery/comets-and-meteors) - [Conjunctions](https://astronomy.org.gg/gallery/conjunctions) - [The Sun](https://astronomy.org.gg/gallery/the-sun) - [Deep Space](https://astronomy.org.gg/gallery/deep-space) - [All-Sky Camera](https://astronomy.org.gg/allskycamera) - [Find Us](https://astronomy.org.gg/location) - Contact Us - [Contact Form](https://astronomy.org.gg/contact-us/contact-form) - [Group Visits](https://astronomy.org.gg/contact-us/group-visits) - More - [Newsletters](https://astronomy.org.gg/more/newsletters) - [Articles](https://astronomy.org.gg/more/articles) - [ISS](https://astronomy.org.gg/more/iss) --- ## Navigation - Previous: [Home](https://astronomy.org.gg/index.md) - Next: [Find Us](https://astronomy.org.gg/location.md)
