Things needed:
- DFNEXT
- DSLR
- Lens
- WiFi antenna
- Modem + SIM
- GPS+GSM antenna
- 1 hard drive (6TB): do not put more than 1 as this will drain the battery faster
- higher gain GSM antenna, if required
- battery
- power cable: ring terminals -> Amphenol
- camera stand
Special staggered still triggering mode
- Martin T's script, parameters...
- crontab modification
Special forced video recording
Tips
- Follow instructions for setup.
- Important: do not move or touch the stand or camera box once the night has started: Astrometric calibration images for both video and still are going to be recorded in the early part of the night when the moon is not up.
- Close the box and use WiFi or VPN to check on the camera instead of LAN cable once setup.
