All sky camera
Hi team,
Can anyone suggest an affordable all sky camera that I can mount on the roof?
I'd like to just be able to check the images and make a determination whether it is worth pulling the covers off and image.
All recommendations gratefully received.
Thanks.

Define 'affordable'.
The ZWO AS120mc comes with a fisheye lens for just that sort of purpose but it's not cheap I'd say.
Any webcam with a fisheye lens might be the answer. Have a look on
DealXtreme
, heaps of weird stuff on there and cheap.

Up to, say, $500?
I get spammed by DX as I've bought from them before.

Direct from ZWO the ASI120MC listed under $300. You'd need a weatherproof cover for it and maybe a powered USB cable extender.

you could probably interface it with Doug's clear skies program
http://www.mcdougalltech.com/page1/page1.html
I don't think it can be added to the automation chain.
since this analyzes jpg's, you could have a cheap dslr as well with the right lens of course.
interesting...
Cheers

Maybe something like this for a cover:

I guess you'd need to remove the black plastic bit inside the dome but that shouldn't be a big problem.
