New Software And camera

Ok … I think I have this reassembled and working.

The new systems is using the indi_allsky, instead of the original allsky software. It prints more detailed on the images and has a better interface and more capabilities. I also updated to a proper 180° view of the sky, rather than the 100 or so of the old lens. Unfortunately, I got it installed and THEN I found out it’s a manual focus lens, so I have to go up on the roof and bring it back down, disassemble the thing, fix the focus (testing it will be fin), and then reassemble everything and mount the resulting apparatus on the roof.

Oh, and I added a DHT22 temperature and humidity sensor.
