Yes, Richard (Dick, as I and other fellow travelers call him) has been a great inspiration to me and many others. I first tried mashed potatoes … but nothing but the best, most realistic modeling for me, dyed Papier-mache. It was a vision I had, and I built the model before I even realized the model was Devil’s Tower. My wife doesn’t understand, but I’m leaving for Wyoming soon. I have to get there by the Saturn/Jupiter Conjunction in December.
Your location is just north of mine … so it stands to reason that we would pick up the same night sky. You would have the advantage to the north. I would have advantage to the south.
But, and I keep saying this … Our captures are OLD NEWS.
I can only begin to imagine what WYZE V3 users across North America are going to capture and post in the future. It’s going to be amazing. Surely someone somewhere will have clear skies above them when these amazing events happen!
So please everyone, quit commenting on OLD NEWS. Hopefully you all will soon own V3 cameras and have them pointed to the night sky. The V3’s Starlight Sensor is mind-blowing!
@WyzeDongsheng was the first to post a time lapse night sky video. Mike and I were among the first to capture meteors on a V3. But that was all so yesterday. Please post what you see in the night sky IN THE FUTURE on Captured on Wyze.
We are waiting to see it!
but, did you build it out of mashed potatoes?
Jason, that was his prototype. (I already asked.)
I caught my own this morning
Central time, happened south southwest from middle of minnesota ( cam is facing south). Anyone else catch it to?
Very nice, Tony! It looks like it triggered the motion detection. I had a couple do that. But not the bright one like yours. I found that one via the manual process.
These are the videos Tod and I are wanting to see. Please, feel free to create your own threads for videos like this. The last thing we want is for the to get buried deep in this one.
Oh WOW! That is so nice! Double bright flash on entry. Do you suppose it was an early Geminid? Left over Leonid? Just a random meteor?
Love it!
Did it trigger an “event?” It looks like it should have! You “win” the brightest of the brightest flash (so far).
It’s going to be soooooo great to have Wyze V3s positioned around North America to capture cool stuff like this! I can hardly wait.
Nice capture!
All my V3s are currently inside or outside, looking for bad guys and animals hunting around our house.
I’m planning on soon dedicating one V3 to the night sky … so much stuff happening in December! Good chance of catching the International Space Station. The Geminids (potentially 100 meteors per hour), and the the conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn.
The V3 continues to blow my mind!
Agree with Mike … the Moderators and Mavens have to set aside an area for Starlight Sensor captures … because folks are going to be posting 100s of them! @UserCustomerGwen, what do you think?
Thing is (and @mvb will agree), it’s so easy to just point the V3 into the dark night sky on continuous recording and catch it all (provided no clouds). The hard part is trolling through each minute on the SD card, day-by-day, hour-by-hour, minute-by-minute.
I’m ashamed to admit that I have yet to go through all my Leonid footage. I eventually will, on some day when snow (and Covid) locks us down tight. Start a fire in the fire place, lean back, and search for neat captures.
Yes it triggered a 12 second event. The detection zone is the top 3/4 of the frame (starts at the top of the neighboors roof peak). I checked playback of the cool down period and didn’t see anymore. Sensitivity was set on 100. At one point had a airplane at altitude and it’s contrail set off an event.
GREAT videos all…
So I read through all 89 comments and I have one question because I didn’t see or I missed it.
In all of the videos except the “trio” the meteors have a tail or a flash… The trio does not… we sure those are meteors and not ET in a flight pattern?
