Alcor System All Sky Camera OMEA 6M Monochrome CCD Camera

The Alcor OMEA All Sky Cameras are designed with the primary objective of conducting comprehensive surveillance of the entire sky, both during the night and day, continuously and uninterruptedly. These sophisticated systems serve the crucial purpose of providing real-time assessments of the quality of the night sky. Moreover, they excel in capturing and recording a wide range of celestial phenomena, ranging from fast events like meteors and fireballs to slower occurrences such as satellites, rockets, noctilucent clouds, zodiacal light, auroras, and airglow.

The system's exceptional sensitivity enables it to produce high-quality images of the night sky without the need for star tracking. This remarkable feature ensures that stars are captured with pristine clarity, free from the effects of natural Earth rotation, eliminating the trailing typically associated with astrophotography. As a result, the Alcor OMEA All Sky Cameras provide a valuable tool for astronomers, researchers, and enthusiasts to not only monitor and assess the real-time condition of the night sky but also to document and study various celestial events with unparalleled image quality and precision. Whether capturing the fleeting brilliance of meteors or the mesmerizing dance of auroras, these cameras stand as reliable instruments for advancing our understanding of the dynamic and ever-changing celestial landscape.
