See the Sky Live from your PC!
Every want to view the stars from a really dark sky location but don't have the time to go there?
Or what about going south of the equator and viewing objects not visible in the northern hemisphere?
Check out Night Sky Live Project website. This project involves a network of cameras with fisheye lenses taking live pictures of the skies all over the world!
Each camera is setup to take a 180 second exposure every 4 minutes, and you'd be surprised what it can pick up!
The image above shows an image taken in Mauna Kea, Hawaii. The bright band in the middle is our Milky Way galaxy! Some major stars and planets have been marked on this image for reference.
There's even a discussion board where you can review images you have seen with others. You can even review an archive of previous images. With tons of people on the internet reviewing images, who knows what unusual objects may be found?
So cloudy days are no longer an excuse for gazing up at the wonders in the sky above!
Good night!
