    Track a Drone via Skycam

    Here is a fun side effect of having a good resolution sky cam (Empiretech Color-4KT 2.8 mm) Was able to go back in recorded footage and find start & end of flight for a drone buzzing the neighborhood. The one who complained to me about the drone was not able to track it after it did its final...

    Northern Lights

    Having too much fun with the Color-4KT footage looking for auroras now that I know how to process the video and what to look for in captured footage. I've found auroras on more nights near the main event like this on May 13, 2024. That wasn't super surprising. That inspired me to search in...

    Northern Lights

    Finished the full length time lapse for this morning's showing. I did NOT adjust color saturation or hue. Only gamma adjusted the exposure for better contrast.

    Northern Lights

    Surprised to see activity this morning (Thursday May 16, 2024) After spotting it on camera, I looked outside. Could BARELY see anything with my eyes. The Color 4KT sees so much more than human vision.

    Final Cut Pro. When I used to use iMovie I had to do the timing in two stages to get desired speed.

    Northern Lights

    Aurora Friday Night May 11 2024 Time Lapse 170X A much more modest aurora display Saturday night (May 11, 2024) as opposed to the spectacular showing Friday night. Unfortunately, activity was waned before darkness descended. In compensation, we get far more stars, the Milky Way, numerous...

    Northern Lights

    More to follow, but this is in opposite direction (west). It's basically right on top of us.

    Northern Lights

    Early time lapse. Should get better capture as sky darkens.

    Northern Lights

    Color Sky cams are picking up the northern lights overhead. I can barely see with naked eye, but on cameras it is pretty wild. Will be a great time lapse.

    Scene color/saturation changes with motion?

    I would actually more expect this is a side effect of white balance being shifted. Notice how the color of white differs between the two scenes. When white point shifts, the scene colors can shift dramatically in hue and saturation. The amount and direction of shift depends on both the original...

    M31 with Satellites

    Clear night allowed another M31 capture on the EmpireTech PTZ5A4M-25X. A couple satellites drift across the field. M110 is the smudge above the main galaxy

    You didn't help with the nest, but you ARE going to help with this.

    When I first moved here, the local news was going on about a drought. I looked around at the ferns and wondered “What drought?”

    Beginner question - POE 12V, 24V, 48V

    In stock configuration, the 12 DC jack does not output 12 volts when you connect ethernet to POE supply. Some of use modify the camera and bypass the blocking diode to convert that DC input into an output. Such a mod has even been used to power an external IR light, but obviously the...

    It's a portrait oriented video, but my editing software only allows landscape. Hence, the time stamp is cropped off top of frame.

    Was looking through old footage to see how our cameras have progressed over the years. Found this gem from 10 years ago taken by a Hikvision eyeball. Well.... it DID get to the front door.
