All Sky Cam: Sporadic Meteor
20th May 2021 00:40:53 hr UTC
ZWO ASI178MC camera.
150 degree f/1.2 fisheye lens
All Sky Optics weatherproof housing.
AllSkEye 0.9 Software.
Remote miniPC/home iPAD control via Wifi.
This is a 40s exposure at Gain setting 140. First quarter Moon setting. Some high cloud.
Likely small sporadic meteor. Not seen in either preceeding or following frame. Gradual increase in intensity as it burns up in the atmosphere. Satellites (apart from Iridium flares!) tend to be completely linear in intensity and can be seen in several frames as they track across the sky. Yellowish colour as well more in keeping with ionising gases - satellites are pure white.
