Success! SolarCan revisited

 Back in 2020 we got our second box of SolarCans. The first set were part of a Kickstarter but many were defective. This can was set up across our street on a neighbor's balcony, facing south. It has been recording for just shy of a year. In the lower part of the image you can make out the recent construction and the open space path. This is what a successful solar gram looks like. 

Solargraphy and the SolarCan

 There are many ways to make a Solargram.  One of the best methods is the SolarCan.  So what is a Solargram?  A definition from SolarCan:

"Born from a love of photography, art & astronomy Solarcan is a unique camera designed to produce extreme time exposures that capture the Sun’s path across the sky."

So Basically it is a Pinhole designed to withstand weather and can be left outside for months/years.  Two of my Solargams from this year (the rest are still cooking):
