I am pondering using a dashcam type system as a stationary daytime meteor/fireball camera for scientific purposes. I would have the camera under a clear plexiglass dome pointing up to the zenith of the sky and running during the daylight hours.
I am just beginning to explore this so any thoughts are welcome.
Question: If I run the camera all day would that create one large file on a memory card? Is it possible to program the recording to be continuous ten minute files?
Would direct sunlight damage the sensor? Or is there an iris in these cameras that stops it down?
Do you have any camera and/or lens recommendations for this application?
I am thanking you all in advance for any replies.
Thomas
