Whole sky image

Image auto updates every 30 seconds

A whole sky camera is a specialized camera used in meteorology and astronomy for capturing a photograph of the entire sky. In meteorological applications, whole sky cameras are used to study cloud cover, the current level of UV radiation, fractional cloud coverage, sky polarization, the computation of cloud base height and wind speed at cloud heights.

Note! This a DIY project using a Raspberry PI, Raspberry PI HQ camera and a fisheye lens from Arducam. I will try to keep this running as much as possible. Reach out to arun at indstronomy.com for anything. Images might be fully blank during early dawn and late dusk time. This is because the camera might be switching from day to night mode. In these times, the last recorded image is kept displayed
