Errr.... Daz: I'm not trying to be dismissive, but could you identify what makes either of your posted images 'interesting'?!

Actually, if you set up a cam & it doesn't get a shot of a cat, is it because it's Schroedinger's cat - simultaneously there & not there?!

I have been going through 4 months of archive cloud cam footage, when the cat appeared. At first I thought it was a rat, as I have two running along my fence every night.
So now when I make 1 month long movies the cat frame is at the start , with the title " Moggi Cam ". ( And I dislike cats immensely )
The cat and the fireball (maybe) are the only things outside of the norm captured after all this time.

For those interested, the cam is a Gstar ex mono, with a 160 degree ( me think) lens, screwed into a plastic coke lid, stuffed into the front of cam. Cam runs 24/7 using iSpy capture software.

Cheers

Darrell

What is the purpose of having a camera looking up and running 24/7?
