About This Feed

This all-sky feed is captured with a KT&C KPC-DNR700NHB DSP color CCD camera (600 TVL, NTSC, 3.6mm fisheye lens) under a Pro-Dome acrylic weatherdome, digitized through a USB video capture device and processed with Moonglow Technologies' All Sky Cam Uploader software.

Camera hardware donated by the 4 Domes Consortium.
