Would it be a cool idea if I set up some sort of interactive livestream showing live views of space

#1

Post by realflow100 »


Would it be a cool idea if I set up some sort of interactive livestream showing live views of space with a wireless transmitter and receiver to remote-control my goto tracker and camera. with realtime stacked/long exposures livestreamed for people to see and interact with?

People could vote to look at certain objects or such. and the tracker would slew to them and they would gradually appear on live video from a form of live stacking
for example the software will capture and stack the last 30 frames or something throwing away the oldest frame and adding the most recent one to the "stack". from the cameras live view. with some basic image processing to enhance the image contrast and details.
and send it to a livestream website for people to watch.

People could see orion nebula in real-time. or pleiades. or christmas tree cluster. andromeda galaxy. triangulum even. or various other objects.

Maybe even adjust the number of frames to stack on the fly so can stack a few hundred frames for more detail. using longer exposures per frame
I think that would be absolutely epic of an idea.

would people be interested in watching such an "live" stream of space? showing space in semi-real-time

I don't know about the 'interactive' part though.

Sure there would probably be some interest in such a thing. I say go for it! Good luck let us know :D

ps; I don't think I could livestream many of my sessions due to all of the cursing involved :lol:
