## What it is
Allsky is an open-source application that turns a Raspberry Pi and a compatible camera (ZWO or Pi/Arducam sensors) into an all-sky camera for capturing continuous images of the night sky. It includes a web UI for administration, plus keogram, startrail, and timelapse generation.

## Use cases
- run an allsky camera on a raspberry pi to monitor the night sky
- capture timelapse videos of the sky overnight
- generate keograms and startrails from nightly captures
- remotely view live sky images through a web interface
- set up an astronomy weather and sky condition camera
- stream meteor and cloud activity from a backyard observatory

## When to choose
- you have a Raspberry Pi and a supported ZWO or CSI camera and want a turnkey allsky camera solution
- you want built-in keogram, startrail, and timelapse generation with a web UI
- you want a well-maintained, community-supported astro imaging setup

## When to avoid
- you need support for operating systems other than Raspberry Pi OS
- you use a Pi Zero or other low-memory board and need keograms or timelapses
- your camera is not on the supported list (e.g., newer ZWO cameras after Feb 2025)
