Allsky Observatory Project
A personal allsky camera setup for continuous sky monitoring from Łódź, Poland.
This project continuously monitors the sky using a wide-field allsky camera. It captures live sky images, tracks observing conditions, and helps document interesting phenomena such as meteors, satellites, aircraft trails, clouds, the Moon, star trails, and occasional aurora activity.
