AllskyGo (2027 New Generation) | The Portable Astrophotography Timelapse Camera | Raspberry Pi4 15W Allsky |

***Listing updated to AllskyGo [Gen2] from October 2026 (Gen1 files remain in .Zip)***

🌌Build your own Portable Allsky Timelapse Camera

Inspired by the Thomas Jacquin concept, Allsky Go is the latest innovation in all-sky camera technology; designed to be printed from home for seamless use both on and off-grid. This versatile camera is built to capture the night sky wherever your curiosity takes you.  Originally launched in 2025 – the 2nd Generation design offers additional flexibility and performance  improvements running off a standard 5v (15W) powerbank.  This engaging project will make use of your 3D printing capabilities, introducing a rewarding blend of engineering, photography, and astronomy.

🌌Allsky Go | Your ideal cosmic travel companion |

Whether you're camping under remote starlit skies or exploring new destinations on holiday, be ready to reveal the magic of the night with Allsky Go!

🌌Pursuit of Dark Skies - The core mission behind Allsky Go!

  • Humidity and temperature sensor

• 🔌Power & Connectivity

  • USB-C charging port

  • WLAN & LAN support for connectivity on the fly

🌌An Allsky Evolution

New design retains the same interface with the Allsky V3 Dome for easy upgrades, with all core electronics contained in the base.  Compatibility maintained with the V3AF focusing upgrade (fitment subject your specific set-up).

🌌Key Features

🌌Powerbank

The Raspberry Pi4 runs at 15W (5v, 3amp) and requires standard USB protocol from Powerbanks with 15W Output.  I recommend a capacity of 20.000mah.  The VRURC 20.000mah Power bank is recommended for compact size and versatility and status window position.   Available to purchase in EU and NA for around $30  ( Amazon.it | Amazon.co.uk |  Amazon.com )

AllskyGo can support Powerbanks within the dimensions below:

Important: Many power banks advertise 35-65W, but they use a special USB PD protocol which achieves this through 9V, 12V or even 20V output which the Raspberry PI cannot receive.  Ensure your Powerbank is optimized for 5v-3amp output (15W) if using multiple connections.

🌌3D Printed Assembly

All 3D Printed parts included in this Purchase

• V3 Dome Assembly

• Travel Tub with Sensor Probe & Carry Handle

• Smart Base with Powerbank Clamp

• Raspberry Pi Cradle

🌌What else you will need to complete your Allsky Go!?

Bill of Material, assembly and installation manuals have been posted to the AllskyGo Github site to allow prospective builders to review the complete project.  AllskyGo Gen2 @ Github

Non-Printed off-the-shelf components readily available through online resellers.
Functionality of your allsky camera can be built up over time, or according to your specific needs.

Important Note: 3.5” ACYRLIC DOME by JMX Optical 

Some regional amazon sites do not directly list the Dome from JMX Optical. Purchasing through Amazon.com (USA) and selecting delivery to your region can work around this limitation of some Amazon Listings (i.e. Amazon.de)  Links to try:  Amazon.it // Amazon.com 

🌌Software & Scripts

The system runs on standard Allsky Software available from the Allsky Team with GPS & Humidity data managed by the standard Allsky Team Modules.

I share some custom scripts for initial button and sensor integration on the Allsky_Go (Gen2) Github site.

• Boot config and background service configurations

• Short / long press custom button functions

• Start-up and shutdown melodies
