All Sky Camera MkII

Decided to up-spec my STi All sky camera with, a decidedly not cheap, Fujinon fish-eye lens. It's a remarkably sharp and fast (F1.4) optic and was picking up all manner of objects.

This also explained why I'm forever having 40 minute subs ruined by some interloper...

Some early results here

So which one are you in the lot? Or do you get on the cabin speaker advising a slight change of course on landing approach as M8 is right in the way

Very funky image - but it appears you guys haven't learnt to fly in straight lines!!!

I'm guessing the only cure to this problem will be relocation!

Thats a lot of traffic for two hours, hope the midnight to dawn is less.
Always like those images that show all traffic in one.

Was the lens expensive, look a good upgrade path? I could use on the mk51 I have.

After I stacked 1000 odd frames, and looked at the result, I thought: pretty trippy

As for the lens, B&H imaging (USA) sell them for about $A500
