AWE is a proposed sky-monitoring service for Queenstown that uses AI vision to spot auroras, lenticular clouds, moonrise, and other fleeting events.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-07 issue.

Field notes

The project combines three observation modes: AI alerts for selected sky events, an intended live broadcast of glacier infrasound, and a pinhole camera designed to accumulate a year of exposure. Its launch list names aurora australis, lenticular clouds, moonrise, and noctilucent clouds, with moonrise predictions tied to The Remarkables. The radio component is still described as development work, and noctilucent-cloud coverage is marked for 2026.
