Join us
Already running an AllSky camera? Join our network! Share your images with the community and use the data together — for citizen science, school projects, or simply for wonder.
What do you get when you participate?
You are not just providing data – you gain access to a complete infrastructure, automatic processing, and a platform for your camera.
Automatic server services
The server automatically generates additional products from your uploads – with no extra load on your Raspberry Pi.
- Keograms & star trails (fully automated)
- Night and timelapse videos
- Long-term keograms (monthly and long-term overviews)
- Seasonal video (daily images combined over a full year)
- Archive and fast previews via the website
Easy integration into your own website
You can embed live images, latest videos, and analyses via stable links and proxies – without running your own server infrastructure.
Sensors & live data
Sensor data (temperature, humidity, SQM, clouds, etc.) can be stored centrally and displayed as charts – ideal for comparisons and citizen science.
More visibility for your location
Your camera gets its own public page in the network – increased reach, better discoverability, and shared storytelling during events like auroras, meteors, or special weather conditions.
How participation works
You are part of the network in just three steps – and the services run automatically.
Who can join?
Your Raspberry-Pi-based AllSkyCamera
Ideally a Raspberry Pi 4 or 5 with the HQ Camera – older models are welcome too.

Use the proven web interface to automatically upload your images.
Stable internet & enthusiasm
Keep the camera online – and enjoy being part of a growing citizen-science network.
Why join?
Contribute to real science
Your camera provides valuable data on sky brightness, weather, aurora and meteor activity – used in genuine research.
Support STEM education
Schools and workshops use your images to teach astronomy and environmental awareness with real data.
Share observations, join the community
Compare results, analyse meteor showers together and connect with like-minded sky enthusiasts.
Be part of the digital sky
Each camera adds a piece to the European sky mosaic — you help map the heavens.
Simply enjoy it
Admire stunning images of auroras, meteors and the Milky Way — captured by you and others.

Support the MINT network – no bureaucracy involved
Running the servers, developing new analyses, and maintaining the community requires time and resources. If you like the project, you can support it voluntarily – transparently and without obligations.
For AllSky camera owners
Questions? Ideas? Join the community.
Even without your own camera, you can be part of the project. Our Discord community is the place to discuss technology, data analysis, astronomy, and new ideas.
