I was hoping to be able to capture successive images showing of the stars tracking across the night sky but wasn’t able to see any stars at all. The only thing I found a little disappointing was capturing images in low light conditions. It is possible to capture video at up to 90 fps, which is awesome! The answer seemed to be to use the Raspberry Pi camera module, the resolution is much better than a webcam, and since the camera module is connected directly to the Raspberry Pi and the processing is done by the GPU, performance is much much better. I tried a couple of different webcams but found that the resolution wasn’t that good and it could take a while to capture a frame. Until now I have used a webcam to capture images on my Raspberry Pi, with mixed results. There isn’t anything new in this post, I’ve just tried to collect everything together in one place. However if (like me) you have installed Raspbian from scratch then you may find that a bit of googling will be needed to get everything working. I know I’m not the first person to get the Camera working on my Raspberry Pi, and if you are using the default SD card image everything should work just fine out of the box.
