My Multi Meteor Cam Housing A homemade Housing with 400 mm Acrylic Dome for 6 Meteor cameras. by Jochen Richert

Why 6 cams in one cabinet? • Every time I run in trouble, that one of the housing had water or water vapour in it. • It is easier to bring all the cables into one housing. • Also heating and ventilation could be controlled easier. • Only one maintenance point.
