All Sky Camera Case and mounting Kit designed for Raspberry PI 4 and HQ Camera
This is a custom designed housing for all the electronics needed to run an All Sky camera using the software created by Thomas Jacquin. The aim of this kit is to eliminate the DIY element of making the camera housing and keep everything in one self-contained housing. All that is needed to get it up and running is install the software and then mount the electronic components.
Then you can wow your friends and family with awesome timelapse video’s. I personally use the All Sky camera to monitor the night sky when doing Astrophotography as I can check the night sky for clouds using my phone without having to get out of bed.
