Day 1

Yesterday Kenny and I set up the All Sky Camera and were able to connect it to a computer, showing a live stream and saving pictures to the computer. We were originally worried because the All Sky Cam software is only compatible to Windows XP, Vista, and 7. We were able to procure a computer from Dr. Hassel that will hold all of our data until further notice. What we need to do next is find  a good place on the roof of  Roger Bacon where there are minimum objects blocking the view of the camera. Also, we will need to connect the camera to the computer, which will be inside. Finally, we are trying to connect the camera to a raspberry pi. The difficulty with that is that a raspberry pi runs on Linux so we need to see if it's even possible to connect it to the camera and if so, how to do it.
