I should clarify that I’m mostly guessing on your bill of materials. There are only a few obvious choices for this project.

I posted a bit more on what I am using on the About page: http://skybot.cam/about
I got all the camera gear on ebay, which was lucky.
I figure since it is all based on ADS-B data, there isn't anything too crazy about making it public. I am also still trying to figure out if it is actually useful for anything... besides getting unlimited plane photos!

The only non-public information you're making available is the approximate location of your house!
It's a very high end approach to planespotting though. People used to just tick off serial numbers in books :D
I was always worried about making it a public data source. Kinda seems like it could be potentially dangerous, but that’s completely paranoid speculation. Thanks for sharing!
