Welcome to 2018. And what do we do? Retrospect back to 2017! This is the 2017 summary of midnight images from the allsky1 camera system at SCGO.

It successfully recorded 355 out of 365 nights… I will go back through the archives to try and pull out a few more… mostly missing ones are automation and coding issues.

Not a *lot* of clear dark skies! Allsky1 tends to get overwhelmed by moonlight, any moonlight! These are typically 80 second exposures using a ~20 year old SBIG ST-237A camera

This attached image shows 28 images across the rows (4 weeks).

You can see the collection going back to 2007 here:
