Testing

The Sky Camera was permanently mounted on the roof of the Ladd Observatory on Dec. 13, 2010. It is now operational. Here are some results from testing the camera.

Leonids (2010)

A series of images were taken during the morning of Nov. 18, 2010 for the purpose of testing the sky camera. This was the night of the Leonid meteor shower. Learn more at 2012 Quadrantids.

Quadrantids (2011)

Another series of images were taken during the early morning of Jan. 4, 2011 during the Quadrantid meteor shower. There was a large amount of water vapor in the atmosphere. The camera is very sensitive to moisture due to the near infrared filter. Learn more at 2012 Geminid Meteor Shower.
