A Slowwww meteor

[BillW]

Hi,

Caught this last night.



It was a very faint spectrum (which can't really be made out in the composite) that triggered the capture. Meteor was travelling from the top.
The meteor was cut off before in finished, probably falling below the slow object limit. Even with the narrow fov of a 12mm it lasted over 3 seconds. Crawled across the sky.

I think this might be the slowest I've caught.

Cheers,
Bill.

You did well to catch that one so early in the evening bill. It must get darker earlier up North.

Hi Bill,

I caught meteors either side of that date / time but nothing that's a good match for yours ... must have been outside my FOV.

Allan ... my cameras activate / deactivate based not on light levels but on calculated sunset / sunrise using a Theben SEL 170 timeswitch ... very useful for catching meteors in the twilight ... on occasion we get some that toehrs have missed as they're not running: nemetode.org/Recent%20Captures%20Folder/20131219_075809/20131219_075809.htm

Best regards
