Meteor 7/ 7 - plus Video test

#1

Post by Groovy2 »


got is nice meteor last night 7/7 -
was cloudy / rainy put out 2 cams -

I was trying to video Chinese Space Station and a rocket booster -
but clouds were in that part of sky -

got a few meteors and a Bunch of FireBalls - several 10 to 15 X size largest star -
Bigger than what is normal - Very Round -Bright - Wow -

by Eye I See maybe 100s Flashes in sky to each meteor I See -

V3 cam shows Similar number flash to meteor count -

My guess is Flashes are Meteors that are moving towards camera - no angle ish -
makes Bright Round Flash - no trail - trail is included in round Flash area -

V3 cam captures maybe 100 plus flashes nightly - it changes -
last night was a lot of flashes most were small -

Flashes Usually last One frame - sometimes 1/3 frames - < 5%
Flashes are usually Very Round -

I you have better Idea what these Flashes are please add in -
I would like to Know what these are -

Video is kind of a test clip to See if Compressing Uploaded Video file 15X
and See how it Looks and how much noise ???
Tried this before and it Kind Of worked -

Also each of the 3 meteor passes is has different filters -
1 -- 58% opacity + Color Dodge 50%
2 -- 58% opacity + No Filter
3 - Stock - No Adjustments -

do Any of meteor passes Look Better ???

can you See pieces that are Paralleling meteor on Left side ???

No and no. They look the same. I watched it several times and did not see anything trailing to the left. But thanks for posting. I always consider it a plus when I am viewing the stars and a meteor passes through.
