I decided to move the conversation from my other thread to here since I think this section is more appropriate.
After the meteorite explosion from the other day I am looking to have a couple cameras to monitor the skies.
I am currently using a spare 4K-T, but am thinking this might be overkill?
Here are my current settings:



Is this what most others see who do this? I am assuming the lighted clouds are transferring light pollution from the city that is over that way, even though the sky looks completely dark to the regular eye? Wrong or right, I am just surprised how well it picks up color and the little bit of light coming through the clouds.

- Do I need to record in 4K or is 4MP more than sufficient?
- Would I be equally served with a 5442?
- Is there any reason to record during the day? (dumb question, I know...)
