Hours of night footage become a short list of things worth watching. **OpenSkyCam**, by GitHub user Deibler / u/Terrible_Award_2124, records a sky-facing camera and sorts detections into meteors, aircraft and other sightings. The maker reports 17 meteors in the featured overnight run; daytime footage fills up with birds.

The useful division of labour: **YOLO models detect objects; Claude builds workflows and writes filtering scripts** through the project's API and MCP tools. The maker still reviews detections and prepares training datasets. This is an ongoing camera project with a new agent workflow, rather than an unattended scientific observatory.

Footage stays on your own disk. Code and setup:
