GMN meteor camera housing
Description
I created this camera housing so I could point a sensitive camera to take pictures of the night sky. The "Global Meteor Network" ( https://globalmeteornetwork.org ) created a RaspberryPi image that automatically takes pictures, analyses them and returns data to the GMN. I bought a Sony IMX291 camera and an Acrylic dome on the internet. Although I use a 1.7mm lens, better is to work with a 3.5mm lens. I use a aluminium bracket on my roof, where I slide over the housing when good theater is expected. Materials needed: Sony IMX 291 IP camera: https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/4000104015604.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.41f64c4dMEgCPM Acrylic dome: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33058320421.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.145f4c4dI8APjw Raspberry Pi4: https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/raspberry-pi-4?variant=29157087412307 I glued the dome to the top part, to make it (hopefully) water tight.
