(meteorobs) Allsky camera from Orion

[Jim Wooddell]

Hello Patrick and all,

After going through the experience with the Moonglow camera (story to follow 
at a later date) and it's inability to show real time video at night of 
moving objects in the sky, I would be really critical about any of these 
systems and investigate thoroughly prior to purchase.

The proof is the company's ability to provide real time video of a meteor. 
If it can not do that....well, it just wont work good enough for tracking. 
I got a learning lesson the hard way  with delayed my Cloudbait camera 
project!!

I am not putting these allsky cameras down...they are good for watching 
cloud movement during the day. Many of these sky cams are just used for 
looking at this sort of thing.  Meteors are not their cup of tee.

With kind regards,

Jim
