All-Sky recordings


Recommended Posts

I'll use this thread to dump links to any (possibly interesting) previous nights All-Sky records. This is last night's offering 10-11th Aug dusk until about 2:30am and 2 days prior to the Perseid peak. Not many Persieds recorded, perhaps half a dozen and jsut one bright one. Loads of other stuff going on though, mostly satellites, Iridium flares, ISS fly-overs, and of course a few aircraft. This vid was recorded using FireCapture @ 3sec frames continuously, the post-processed using VirtualDub to 20fps and H264 CODEC, then crippled by YouTube by further compression...(sorry about that). Best to watch in a darkened room in full screen with HD selected :-)

Date and Time can be seen top-left and is accurate to +/- 3milliseconds.

The one bright Perseid at 23.19.05

Bright fireball from last night, I wouldn't like to attempt to estimate the magnitude but the glowing ionisation trail lasted for at least 30 seconds (as a video record). I'll upload the overnight video later.

These are three x 3sec frames in sequence, you can see ionisation trail that was left behind.

So this was the night of the Peak of the Perseids, and against expectations it was clear all night with the exception of a slow-moving but thin band of cloud which passed over at one point. There were quite a few meteors recorded but to be honest, after all the hype I was expecting more. Things were still popping as dawn broke and maybe we missed the most intense part of the shower. Below are a few example screen caps, and at the bottom the all-night video, this time slowed down a little to 15fps instead of 20fps (which means the whole thing lasts some 8minutes or so).

This was the star of the show, and it left a glowing train lasting 30secs or so:

But there were many others too:
