Meteor activity (not Geminids)

Recommended Posts

I've been looking at a live Youtube stream over recent nights and tonight I noticed an awful lot of meteors being captured mostly coming from the upper right quadrant.

I couldn't identify the field, no idea of field size or camera location and it keeps getting manually re-adjusted but generally the same field:

 

 

I took a screen grab and plate solved it on Astrometry.net! :)

The camera doesn't seem to be overly sensitive. No sign of M33 but plenty of stars.

Anyway, enjoy the show.

 

Edit: It don't seem right. Someone having a laugh??

I think it's "live" loop of some enhanced activity that was captured at some other time!

A bit like the "live" streams of the Space X Tesla Roadster still playing on the 'Tube.

Oh, well it was fun to plate solve! :)
