Planning on making a skywatching pi using the HQ cam and a 180° fisheye lens. Intend to contribute to the global meteor network, but also try some experiments of my own with opencv and things.

@mightyspaceman I am working on making a custom 3d printed case for mine, it's harder than it seems (but I am a beginner in 3d design)

@mightyspaceman also you may know of this, but https://github.com/thomasjacquin/allsky is by far the best diy option!

@warkolm had a look at that one, probably will end up contributing to both

and I'm also quite a novice with CAD haha. I still haven't decided how I would house it though...

And running on a kinda low budget. around $130 (but I already have a pi). Might contact my school to see if anyone in the science department would be interested in funding/running it as a school thing.

@mightyspaceman I got a colour upgrade, hence the custom enclosure I'm playing with

so yeah, happy to send it to someone that'll use it!

@warkolm what specific model is it? I might begin to design a housing in advance myself

@warkolm "If you know anyone in Greenland or Antartica, send them a camera!!"

maybe I could persuade some people from the antarctic division...hobart is their center for operations, after all..
