Automatic sky capture
Horizon captures the full sky on a schedule, day and night, building a continuous visual record of the conditions overhead.
AllSkyLabs Horizon
The sky above your place,
automatically captured
Horizon is a weatherproof camera that watches the whole sky, sunrise to sunrise — clouds, storms, clear nights, stars, and the way conditions change overhead. It saves what it sees, so you can look back anytime, from anywhere.

No spam. Just occasional updates as Horizon comes together.
What it does
Capture the sky. Look back anytime.
Horizon sits outside and keeps watch on its own, so when you want to know what your sky was doing, the record is already there.
Automatic timelapses
Those captures become timelapses — recent hourly views and longer overnight summaries — so you can watch how your sky actually moved.
Look back on conditions
Review what the sky was doing at any point. A weather watcher can see how a front moved through; an astrophotographer can find out why a sequence went dark from 1:20 to 2:15am — cloud, haze, or something passing over.
Remote viewing
Check recent images and sky history from your phone or desktop, without needing to be outside or near the camera.
Why it matters
Watch your own sky, not the whole region.
If you care about the sky over your specific spot, the usual tools fall short. Weather apps show the region, not your yard. Satellite loops are zoomed too far out. A smart telescope is locked onto one object. Nothing just watches your whole sky and remembers what it saw.
That's the gap Horizon fills — an unattended record of the entire sky, so you can go back and check conditions instead of trying to remember them. Review how a front actually moved through, or find out why an imaging sequence went dark at 2am. The camera was watching the whole time, so the answer is there.
And it's a consumer product on purpose. Most all-sky cameras are built and priced for observatories and research networks. We wanted something a homeowner, a hobby astronomer, a farm, or a school could actually buy and use — approachable for regular sky watchers, not specialized for institutions. We're not ready to talk price yet, and we won't promise one we can't stand behind, but the intent has been the same from day one: consumer-accessible, without pretending it's a finished mass-market product.
Real outdoor testing
Tested in real weather.
Early Horizon prototypes are already running outdoors in Kansas weather, capturing real sky images through rain, wind, heat, humidity, and overnight temperature swings.
The goal is simple: build a sky camera that holds up in normal real-world conditions, not just in a lab. The images, app previews, and timelapse samples shown here come from active prototype testing as the product is refined.
We're also exploring weather-resistant and heated housing options for tougher climates as Horizon develops.
Who it's for
Built for people who watch the sky.
- Weather watchers A real record of what your sky actually did, not the forecast for your county. Review how a storm built or a front rolled through, after the fact.
- Astrophotographers The wide context your imaging rig doesn't capture. When a sequence drops out or goes soft, you can look back at the whole sky for that exact window and see what happened — clouds, haze, dew, a passing plane. It works the same whether you shoot from a fixed home observatory or pack up each morning; the camera keeps watching either way.
- Astronomy hobbyists Full-sky context for people who already care about what's overhead. See how cloud cover developed across the night and plan off what your sky actually did. A natural complement to the growing wave of smart telescopes — it watches the broad sky while they focus on the target.
- Schools & STEM programs A live sky overhead that teaches weather, earth science, and astronomy, and runs itself.
- Farms & rural properties Runs unattended over open land and keeps the record whether you're out there or not.
- Small observatories The all-sky context shot most setups want, sized for a backyard rather than a dome.
Horizon isn't built for enterprise monitoring, regional meteorology, or certified measurement — other products do those. This one watches one sky well: yours.
FAQ
Questions, answered honestly.
What is Horizon?
An outdoor camera that watches the whole sky above your location, around the clock, and saves what it sees to your account so you can review it remotely.
How is it different from a security or weather camera?
Those point one direction at a narrow view. Horizon's lens takes in the entire sky overhead at once — cloud cover, storms, and star visibility across the whole sky in one frame.
I do astrophotography. What does this add?
The wide view your imaging rig isn't capturing. When a sequence drops out or goes soft, you can look back at the whole sky for that exact window and see what happened — clouds, haze, dew, a passing plane. It works the same whether you shoot from a fixed home observatory or pack up each morning; the camera keeps watching either way.
Is it a scientific instrument?
No, and we won't pretend otherwise. It's a consumer product for everyday use, not built or certified for research-grade measurement.
What will it cost?
We're not publishing a price while it's in development. The goal is consumer-accessible — not priced like an observatory instrument — and we'll be upfront before we ask anyone to commit.
When will it ship?
It's in active outdoor testing. We won't hand you a date we can't keep. The early access list is the place to watch the timeline firm up.
What does it need to run?
Outdoor mounting, power, and an internet connection. We're designing the setup for a normal homeowner — no specialist install. Final requirements get confirmed before launch.
What happens to my images?
They're tied to your account. They aren't published or pooled into a shared network behind your back. Your sky, your record.
