An all-sky camera is an ideal tool for capturing the majesty of the celestial sphere turning silently overhead.<\/p>\n

With it you can make timelapse videos that reveal the movement of the stars as well as record bright meteors and satellites.<\/p>\n

Generally speaking, the all-sky cameras available to buy are contained within a weatherproof enclosure with a clear plastic dome, the camera inside fitted with a 180\u00b0 fisheye lens pointing upwards.<\/p>\n

The camera is linked to a computer to record images of the sky every few seconds and the resulting video is processed later to make a timelapse movie.<\/p>\n
