Title: "Sky at Night" and meteors...
Post by: Rick on May 27, 2023, 08:47:08
Anyone else catch "Sky at Night" a couple of weeks back? I just got to the recording after returning from holiday. It had a bit about the Winchcombe meteorite, and a little segment about the Global Meteor Network and UKMon (which, it seems, was filmed during a downpour).

I have a second camera which I need to attach to the side of the house so that I can cover a bit more Gloucestershire sky.

Caught only a few meteors last night. One of them was caught by 24 GMN/UKMon cameras:

The brightest of the night wasn't seen by quite so many, but some cameras got great shots:
