I took the Raspberry Pi setup outside again, as mentioned here, and ran the scheduler again. I replaced all the old .sh files that were messed up by me editing them in Windows over FTP, and everything ran perfectly. I had my V-Dipole on the ground next to the Pi, 120 degrees between each 21.5″ leg, with the center facing south. I caught about 400 seconds of low-noise images! If I can get a laptop to use, this will be so much better – Meteor images will become practical.




I’m really happy. Clearly a roof makes all the difference in signal reception – getting outside got me so much further!
