Celestia VS allsky

Celestia is a rare Linux app not on Flathub, but it is available from Fedora's Flatpak repo, which in theory should be usable on any distro: https://github.com/CelestiaProject/Celestia/discussions/1988

I remember going to a planetarium at the local university while in school some 15 years ago. They told us how they use Stellarium to create the skies and Celestia (https://celestiaproject.space/) to create scripted tours for their exhibits. Both were compatible with the hemispherical projector they used.

As soon as I went home I downloaded them both and spent hours visiting random stars in Celestia and exploring the sky in Stellarium.

I think Celestia will let you do this.

Have you tried Celestia? It has several stars (at least those ones from the Hipparcos catalog) plus some galaxies (at least Messier objects): https://github.com/CelestiaProject/Celestia

Need to link to it, otherwise folks can't find the work around: https://github.com/CelestiaProject/Celestia/issues/1672

Upstream is on github, and seems to have their own debian/* packaging scripts, so might just be a simple upload.

My guess is that you're using the most recent Raspbian OS, Bookworm? AllSky isn't ready for it yet (https://github.com/thomasjacquin/allsky/issues/3012)

I have been building an all-sky camera for my club, based on a Raspberry Pi 3B+ and the Raspberry Pi HQ camera. I chose the color RPi HQ camera over a monochrome ZWO ASI 120MM because of price, and because the performance was "good enough" for our intended purpose - letting club members see at a glance whether it was worth driving to the observing field. The ZWO performed better than the RPi HQ in that its sensor was more sensitive and it produced a similarly illuminated image in less time, but it would have broken the budget. The allsky software I'm using only supports ZWO cameras and the Raspberry Pi HQ camera.

I use them for an allsky camera and Octopi for managing my 3D printer. I did use one for pihole to get adds out of the internet in my house but replaced it with a proper router setup.

Like allsky? theres a repo on github and instructables to make a high res camera with a raspberry pi 4 with object detection. I don't know. we would need to filter out a bunch of stuff to make this work.

I've been using Thomas Jacquin's Allsky Camera software. It talks a good game about automatically adjusting its exposure times, but I haven't seen it do this yet. Still, it's got a useful web interface.

This is an actively-cooled enclosure for housing an All Sky camera running an installation of Thomas Jacquin's software. This camera is used for night time sky observation and can automatically generate timelapses, startrail images, and keograms.
