This page is dedicated to my All Sky Camera project using the SVBONY SV305 Camera and the indi-allksy software.

AllSky Camera Image

This is about 100 degrees x 60 degrees of the sky.

The image is updated every ~5 minutes when the camera is online (you must refresh the page – just click here).

Notes

08/07/2025 – A bit of maintenance. Upgrades, backups, etc… Also made some changed to and documented my Image Overlay Settings. The camera needs to be focused, just waiting for a clear night. I am backing up my configs, customizations, tests, scripts, and such to a github repository here: https://github.com/herseyc/allskycamera

06/19/2024 – Had a little bit of an issue with the enclosure. The cardinal points (N, S, E, W) overlayed on the image are not currently correct. I’ll get this fixed over the weekend.

01/11/2024 – Updates and Upgrades to the SuffolkSky All Sky Camera.

08/06/2022 – Replaced the camera lens with an inexpensive 1.7mm F/2 fisheye lens.

07/01/2022 – All Sky Camera has been running since April. Took it down to clean the dome and replace the gasket between the dome and the enclosure. Also capturing new Darks. You might get a chance to see the ceiling in my office in the image below. Be back soon.

More information on my All Sky Camera project can be found in these posts:

• Weather Resistant Enclosure for the INDI-AllSky Camera
• INDI-AllSky SV305 Gain and Color Settings
• Fisheye lens for the All Sky Camera
• More to come…

This is a work in progress. It will likely evolve over time.

This was pretty cool. Captured a lightning bolt with this All Sky Camera on 05/21/2022
