    KP7 Aurora Oct 7 2024

    Strongest display we have seen in the Seattle area since the major May 2024 event. With KP7 intensity, red and green colors were visible to naked eye.

    Geosynchronous Satellites

    I think these are geosynchronous satellites flaring into view Fixed position, but flaring dots amidst a moving star field. These all seem to be along the same plane. They also reappear at same location and time on different nights. Bright pixels stuck on in camera sensor should not flare at...

    Northern Lights

    The aurora is right above you. It only looks like that when the view is from beneath it. From where I get aurora videos it is usually 300 to 400 miles away.

    Northern Lights

    Nice, right on top of you. Wish those guys had a bigger sensor and 4K without getting into the multi $$K price range.

    Momma Bear and Her Two Cubs

    Would never have caught this at night on the security system without the thermal spotting motion 300 feet out.

    Aurora Through Seattle Clouds Sept 12 2024

    Strong and near enough to appear on all four of my sky cams. Possibly extra strong due to the special magnetic orientation of the Earth that lets more energy leak through in September. Video shows north, east, and south sky cams. West cam was just a high altitude purple glow and is not in this...

    Bunny and Buho Drama

    Bunny is lucky ----- This time. Two cameras, forward and back angles. Added synthetic sound track to achieve better feel for video. You'd never actually hear the owl swoop by.

    IPC-Color4K-T180 or the HIK ver?

    I'm in the opposite situation of using SecuritySpy and have full flexibility in size/shape of my display layouts. Having enough SCO oomph plus giving users the option of aspect ratio will remain a future dream.

    IPC-Color4K-T180 or the HIK ver?

    Unfortunately, that is still the horizontally squeezed 4096/1800 ratio of 1:2.28 It isn’t until you drop down to 3840/1080 that you get the un-squeezed ratio of 1:3.56 Without squeeze the frame would look more like.... Instead of the horizontally squeezed... I wonder if the problem is...

    IPC-Color4K-T180 or the HIK ver?

    Wow. That would be good. I decided not to get a T180 because of the geometry distortion when at full 1800 height resolution. Is this actually the full 1800 vertical resolution without the squeezed aspect ratio? More pointedly, what are the actual resolution options now with FW 3.120.0.35R?

    Moonrise and Two Galaxies

    I have both lens versions but prefer the 3.6 mm image. They are only tilted up about 60 degrees, well within adjustment range of standard turret mount

    EmpireTech 2024 Spring Sales

    They are being consistent, not two faced. Such people consistently look out for their OWN interests. So, it matters not what it looks like from the outside, from the inside they are being always true to their selfish selves.

    Doe Foraging

    Got a nice capture of a doe on one of my PTZ's that doesn't have a microphone. Plus it was too far away to have picked up good sound (200 feet). No matter, a fun dawdle in Final Cut Pro to add quicky ambience sound track and effects. It's not perfect, but better than no audio.

    Friday night August 30-31 2024 Surprise Aurora

    I wish my westward skies were as dark as towards the east. Still, I'm grateful for what viewing has been possible so close to Seattle and Bellevue. A little light pollution wipes out a lot of sights.

    Friday night August 30-31 2024 Surprise Aurora

    Aurora activity on Friday night (Aug 30-31, 2024) seen from east of Seattle Although only KP2 energy was on the forecast, it actually went to KP5. Time lapse starts with highlights and then rewinds to show entire event. Break out your sky charts, and you will find Mars, Jupiter, and Uranus near...

    I still marvel and stare when it happens despite it no longer being the first time.

    Moonrise and Two Galaxies

    Look carefully and you will also see M31 (Andromeda) and M33 (Triangulum) galaxies before the moon rises. M31 looks like a bright star with fuzzy disc near top center. M33 is nearly center and appears as only a faint smudge that moves along with the stars Best viewed full screen with 4K...
