Meteor detection and tracking
Current status of this initiative
Two Raspberry Shake and Boom devices capable of detecting the sonic booms made by meteors and space debris have already been deployed just south-east of Oberon township by OCSN founding members. We hope to add several more such monitoring stations to the OCSN network in due course.
A prototype all-sky camera has been built and commissioned in Chatham valley by OCSN members. It is still being tested and configured, but you can access the images it captures here. At this stage, we cannot guarantee that the all-sky camera will be operational all of the time, but that is the eventual aim.
