Comments to AllSky group on Facebook

I bought this Arducam MIPI camera for the Raspberry Pi. It is 4672*3496 and the best that anyone seems to have gotten is 1 frame every 10 seconds. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07W6LTFZC. I think it needs a $200 computer, not a $100 one. And some assembler or C programming. But then look at the time lapses posted by

Comments about the International Cloud Atlas hosted by the Hong Kong Observatory

Hello, I am visiting CloudAtlas.wmo.int and I keep seeing this red note: Links in the image description will highlight features on the image. Mouse over the features for more detail. But, it actually requires a click for the region on the image to be outlined.  The instruction are correct, but should probably be in blue,

Current activities, The Internet Foundation, Aug 2021

For the Internet Foundation I try to track all global sensor networks. One of the dramatic changes the Internet allows is integration of data from many different sensors – cameras, telescopes with cameras, microscopes with cameras, electromagnetic, gravitational, seismic, acoustic. I am trying to get them all to have standards for archiving and sharing, standards

Post on the Facebook “Allsky Camera” group about satellite transits of star and other things

https://www.facebook.com/groups/172438633343696 Dear Allsky, I went through over a thousand live webcams on the Internet to see what people are sharing live now. My estimate is somewhere around 10,000 overall. Many of them have half sky (show half the image with sky) and in those they will capture comets, meteors, satellites, stars, planets, planes and many

Image handling on the Internet, Pixels around a star

Thanks for the links. I spent the last few days going over the NexGen Level 3 Weather radar system. I downloaded many example datasets and tried to review and organize all the parts of it. Looking to see how to integrated radar, satellite, SDR (electromagnetic networks of many sorts), GPS and other sensor networks and

Notes from Weather.gov survey questions.

Internet Research – global sensor networks and sharing Looking for data to correlate with other sensor networks Your left bars are rich in links. But you are using almost a different style of navigation on every page, certainly every section. With about 3 Million entry points for site:weather.gov that is a lot of hand building

Notes about PixInsight on Houston Astonomical Society Facebook closed group

I have not used PixInsight, but read what they are doing at https://pixinsight.com/. The commercial license is 230 Euros (about $275). They have free versions, but not sure what limitations, if any. All their image processing workshops listed are from 2017. There are software tutorials by their “PTeam” members at https://pixinsight.com/tutorials/index.html I do not know how many

NASA Web methods, policies, practices, staff, training, purpose

Emily, I have not forgotten about you and NASA.gov. In fact, I spent many full days checking different aspects of what is going on, who is doing it, who it serves, how much (if any) user involvement is allowed, the level of practice shown in the pages, integration (or not) with contractors and federal agencies,
