Meteor Detection Module

[bryanmaple]

Hey Everyone,

Fairly new to Allsky. I've enabled the Meteor Detection Module, but I'm wondering, what does the module actually do? Does it flag images that it detects a meteor in? From what I have read in other posts (yes, I did a search before posting this message), it doesn't look like the meteor detection saves a separate image, or moves the image to another directory, or creates a list or anything, so I'm just curious what the module actually does, and is there an easier way to find meteor images rather than just going image by image and manually looking at each one till I see an image with a meteor in it.

Just curious, that's all. So far I'm loving Allsky. I plan on building multiple units and creating a network of them.

I have mine hosted on my website if anyone would like to take a look. I'm still making tweaks and looking for the best location at home to mount the box. Fighting with blasted streetlights in our neighborhood.

Thanks!

Oh, and for my first unit, I'm using a R-Pi 4, with 8gb, and a R-Pi HQ camera. I've already ordered a R-Pi 5 with 8gb and another R-Pi HQ for my second unit that I plan to start building this weekend.

Welcome to allsky :-)

At present it's a very limited module. There is a new version coming in the next few months that does a lot more

Thanks Alex!

Also - is there a link where I can send donations to? I'd like to support the project and the excellent work that is being done.

There's a "donate" button on the main Allsky page, at the top of the README.md file. Donations go to Thomas who is no longer involved, though.
What we could use more than money is another developer or tester...
