Aurora cam main page

 This section represents the original work with the film based Aurora Cam. The aluminum framework which was controlled by a microprocessor based console was programable for a full night of imaging, shooting an entire roll of film at programmed periodic intervals from dusk to dawn. The shutter and rewind mechanisms were servo motors, and all done mechanically. The unit was mounted on the Robotic Barn Door Mount for a night of sky photography. Here are some of the results with this system.
