Happy new year! My all sky camera imaged the sky every 15 seconds and this picture shows what happened in the sky in 2025. It shows the length of the night and day with the hourglass shape, the monthly lunar cycle with the diagonal bands, the elevation of the Sun at local noon, and lots of clouds.

@johanpeitz.com Do you think picocad could work on the Playdate? Main difficulties are likely to be the 1bit screen, and only dpad/a/b inputs (though it does have that crank... camera rotation?)
