Hi All

i am going to get an all sky camera for my remote observatory, however the existing solutions seem a bit expensive for what they are. is anyone using the ZWO as a permanent all sky camera? any thoughts ?

Should be ok from what I've read. My 120mc came with a wide angle lens as part of the kit. Just have to protect it from the weather with a suitable 'window' .

i was thinking of putting it in a dome from jaycar, something like this

i am sure i would have to do some weather proofing. the only other concern is dew, not sure how to control that
