Allsky view - 20191123-24 Meteor Fireball and Starlink Mega Constellation
2019 NOV 23 - 24
Another nights view from my little Raspberry Pi Allsky camera. I just happened to catch a meteor fireball burnup and leave a smoke trail at 0245. Then the next round of SpaceX's Starlink mega satellite constellation made an appearance at 0510 with 60 satellites streaking by in just a few minutes.
More info on SpaceX's NOV 11th Starlink launch.

Allsky Equipment:
Raspberry Pi 3B+ w/ standard noobs/Rasbian OS and Allsky software.
Camera is a ZWO ASI224MC with stock wide angle lens included with camera. I also use this little astro cam as a planetary imager and small field deep space imager when attached to my telescope.
RasPi Software build thanks to Thomas Jacquin:

Allsky produces a nightly timelapse, star trails, and a keogram at the end of the night.
