Cloudwatcher

The AAG CloudWatcher is a complete weather detection system and comprises:

A box with a special exterior finish that includes 4 sensors that are shown in the accompanying AAG Cloudwatcher Software through their corresponding graphs. They allow a thorough and easily understandable measurement of atmospheric conditions:PLEASE NOTE! The photos of the Cloudwatcher give the impression of poor finish around the sensors. This is misleading. These sensors are heavily protected with sealants to ensure long life and consistant operation is all weather conditions

Cloud sensor

Rain sensor

Light sensor

Temperature sensor

and the Anemometer for wind speed.

Supplied with the Cloudwatcher is a weatherproof cable with IP68 connector. This is used to connect the AAG Cloudwatcher to your PC (or standalone 'Solo' Cloudwatcher computer), 12V/1A Power source and a relay.

The Cloudwatcher software allows you to setup your own parameters for what constitutes an unsafe condition. When this condition is met the Cloudwatcher software will notify relevant imaging applications with safety monitors. These in turn will perform required safety actions. The standalone Solo Cloudwatcher computer allows monitoring of the Cloudwatcher without requiring the main PC to be turned on. However when it is, the PC can monitor the Cloudwatcher as if the software were running on it natively. A further notification of unsafe conditions comes with the Cloudwatchers relay output which is closed when the unsafe condition is met. If this is connected to devices such as a Lunatico Dragonfly or Talon Observatory system, various fucntions can be carried out. The Dragonfly can activate other relays based on the signal (it could for instance loop through to the Talon) and also run scripts to perform functions within applications such as warming up a CCD camera before shutting it down.

For any kind of unattended imaging whether it is an observatory at the end of your garden or a remote system at a place like E-Eye, the cloudwatcher is an essential piece of equipment.

Anemometer

The Anemometer is designed to be partnered with the Lunatico AAG Cloudwatcher to add wind speed measurements to Cloudwatcher data. This is essential where equipment or your observatory may be prone to damage through high winds or simply the ingress of dirt or debris into an open oberseratory.

Bracket

The wall bracket allows easy mounting of the Cloudwatcher sensor and Anemometer to either a wall or mast of 1.25"-1.5" diameter. The bracket is supplied with all fixings to mount the sensors and comes supplied with U bolts for mast fixing. No fixings are supplied for wall mounting as these should be detirmined according to the surface you are mounting to.
