Uda Southern Sky Star Cam
OnlineThis dedicated star-watching camera in Uda frames the southern sky above a quiet, forested valley in the highlands of Nara. A lone utility line and dark wooded ridges trace the horizon, while the wide-open vault overhead offers an unobstructed window for following the celestial sphere as it wheels across the heavens.

Everything you need to know about this live stream
A Window on the Southern Sky
Pointed at the southern sky over rural Uda, this camera captures the broad arc of the heavens where the Milky Way climbs and the brightest constellations parade. The framing keeps the horizon low so the maximum expanse of the celestial vault stays in view.
A Dark-Sky Mountain Setting
The camera sits in the wooded highlands of Nara Prefecture, well away from major city glow. Forested ridges and a single power line mark the lower edge of the scene, while the open upland air favours the kind of dark, transparent skies that astrophotographers seek.
Built for Astrophotography
Run by the Starstyle astrophotography project, the feed uses a high-sensitivity full-frame sensor with a fast wide-angle lens to reveal faint stars and the band of the galaxy. Viewers can watch for meteors and fireballs streaking across the frame under clear skies.
Uda and the Skies of Nara
Uda is an upland city in eastern Nara, a region of terraced farmland, forests and historic sites. Its elevation and rural character make it a natural perch for a star camera trained on the open southern expanse.
