Last Night from our New All-Sky Camera

Here is how last night looked from our new all-sky camera:



If you look closely (you may need to watch it more than once) you can spot the dome of the Hale Telescope in the upper right - near the edge of trees. Here is a direct link to it on YouTube.

A friend of mine saw something explode near the horizon in the early morning of sep 20. It might have been a rocket launch. You wouldn't have footage of that particular morning would you?

There was a rocket launch the night of the 20th, but none that morning that I am aware of.

I have been away for a few days, and am just now starting to look through the archive of images from the all-sky camera. I'll post if anything interesting turns up.
