+Ibbo Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) I popped the ZWO on the tripod,climbed the ladder and put the cam on the roof of the consevratory. A couple or 3 adjustments were rquired so up and down the ladders in the dark is fun. Just over 4 hours into about 2 mins good ones at 29 secs and 1.02 and a few fainter ones later on lots of planes its the lossy compressed feed as flickr will not allow anything over 1 gig link to better vid https://www.dropbox.com/sc/pxf73jnvdyiiqx3/AACkSffl03FmUO4M0v83Ngoca lossy comp by charathedobe, on Flickr Edited August 13, 2015 by Ibbo Johnnyaardvark, Werisit and Orion 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyaardvark Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Nice work Steve. Must have been a bugger to get it focused. Looks like you had pretty similar weather to us. Saw a few crackers but not quite up there with previous years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ibbo Posted August 13, 2015 Author Share Posted August 13, 2015 the focus was one of the trips up the ladders the others were to nudge it round a bit to miss the lights and the roof shadow collecting it at 3am was a laugh I can tell you Johnnyaardvark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAZ Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 The one at 29 secs has a fantastic afterglow, almost like a gunshot. How would you explain to the nice officer what you are doing going up a ladder at three in the morning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 I saw quite a few and caught some on camera. There was one à bout 02:10 - 02:11hrs in the SW that had a beaded trail. Someone on Twitter in Worcestershire captured a meteor at the similar, or same time. It also had a beaded trail so i wondered if it could be the same one? How can I tell? From the background stars? Or direction of travel? These would be different from Loughborough and Worcestershire so not sure. My aim was to triangulate the two observations (if it was the same one), and with a bit of trigonometry, calculate the height of the meteor. Did anyone else capture one around this time heading what looked like SW going downwards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
