The build is primarily to capture some Aurora as I have never actually witnessed it.
The software is here...

Components:
Raspberry Pi 4 (I had one not being used)
R-Pi HQ camera https://thepihut.com/products/raspberry-pi-high-quality-camera-module
Fish eye lens https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32913271661.html

5amp R/C BEC https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hobbywing-Ubec-5a-2-8s-Air/dp/B0BD2QK65N
POE inject/extract modules, can't remember where I got mine as had them some years.
Something like this will do the job https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ouitble-Splitter-Injector-Ethernet-IEEE802-3af-Black/dp/B0FKHGKJY6
CAT6 patch cable https://www.amazon.co.uk/VOIETOLT-Ethernet-Outdoor-Weatherproof-Waterproof/dp/B0BLH6KG7D/?th=1

I 3D printed various bits to mount the whole lot into one assembly for easy mounting in the case.
12v DC is injected into the CAT6 cable in the house and then extracted at the camera end and fed into the Radio Control UBEC providing the 5V for the R-Pi.
The CAT6 cable is nearly 30 metres long.
Ignore the wifi cable and antenna, it didn't work out too well so was removed.
Heat from the R-Pi (and fan when activate) is ducted up into the plexi glass dome to prevent frosting
