Re: Oculus | all-sky camera
Hello Pedro,
I was wondering if I could ask a few questions because I am quite intrigued by this. I would love to leave a camera out overnight to look for meteor showers, would this be any good for this or do you have another recommendation? mainly I was wondering if the camera was sensitive enough to get good meteor showers.
Also do you have the 150 degree or 180 degree version?
Does it come with a long cable to get to your house or do you need to buy weather resistant cables and adapters? does it have to be attached to a computer all night or is it saved to a card?
I am just trying to get my head round what is involved (easy or difficult).
Kind regards
Alexandra

Hi Alexandra
This Oculus camera is mainly for fireballs and not meteors. You have other options if you plan to record meteors (mainly video cameras with UFO software).

I will try to record the Perseids today though. Maybe I will record a few fireballs.
