Good video Groovy2.

Do you have that camera set up all the time?

Regards

Hi Graeme1858

I put out 3 cam nightly -
Look on Heavens Above in afternoon to see what is flying over tonight-
then set up cams to record whatever -
If nothing interesting I just set up cams to cover sky and see what I get -
takes me 45 ish minutes to look threw 3 nightly TL recordings

Last night I was sick so just set up cams random -
this morning noticed that Tianhe had flown over -
Looked at recording at time of flyover and there it was - Exactly on time - Mag 2 ish
Tianhe is flying over at 5.02am this morning - going to be light ish so likely not get -

think I recorded out of control Booster also -flew over 5 ish minutes earlier -
its tumbling and was able to see a few flashed but not 100% sure -

I emailed with International Meteor society today -about Meteor Stream-
we discussed these cams some -
they said cam may have same sensor they use Sony Starvis -

They have High end tracking software to mark location of meteors seen -
I also check Meteor site daily to see what happened night before -
then Look at recording to see if cam captured it if was in my area -
Its a Good site - has lists of big meteors seen -

Timelapse misses a Lot 70% ish but One minute files get pretty much everything -
these files are poorer quality tho - kind of a pain to work with too -

going to get 3 more cams to cover sky better when I can -

Satellites are Easy to see on TL cam - meteors are harder because happen so fast usually -
so I look threw a few One minute clips to see what I get -

cams see 100s of meteors a night in dark areas -

I also record Cloud timelapse videos with different cams -
have over 150 gigs of Good quality cloud TL video - 150mb per hour real time -
will make shows once I have better internet connection - Jay

just looked and booster is visible at 11pm and .45am and 5am if its still flying
so may get 3 chances to see booster burn up - Very cool -

setting up 3 cams - will have to reset cams location 3 times if booster lasts that long -
will watch by eye too
