Relatively Real Time Data

   Posted by: kevin   in

We are starting (2010 September) to get some serious data flowing around here with our amateur astronomy projects.
This is a fairly live and uptodate display of the SolarRadioTelescope, Allskycamera and FMMeteordetection project data:

VLF 40KHz Radio Telescope Receiver (since 2006 Jan) will display any solar enhancements reaching the D Layer of the earths atmosphere.

FM Radio Meteor Detection (Since 2007 Jan) An FM Radio Receiver tuned to a station that under normal conditions we do not receive, we will receive it if a meteor passes between it and our location, with the radio signal reflecting off the ion trail.

What’s next? Most likely another allsky camera system running a much more modern camera that can do at least 2 or 3 frames per second under low light conditions, along with a lens with an automatic iris so the system can continue to run in the daytime. If that system performs well, then we can look at duplicating it to create a local area network of allsky cameras.
