George, You mean like this one:

I shot this with an f/.5 system, youll need something like f/.5 to f/2 to
get the whole sky, your f/5 wont be wide enough.

Just a thought...
Would the glass tool used to grind a 12" f/5 mirror be suitable for an
all sky camera mirror after polishing and aluminizing?
After the last two auroras I am thinking that an all sky setup might
produce some stunning results.
