Folks,
many thanks for the interesting feedback to my last posting. It makes the event
even more thrilling to me, if it was not a piece of "man-made litter" but a
"real" meteoroid.
Some guys asked for positional details on the meteor. So I took the image and
verified resp. corrected the automatically measured positions (MetRec computes
the center of gravity of the meteor in each frame, which has systematic errors
in case of extremely elongated objects). The results are given below. The colums
are
- frame number
- time (seconds at 02:06 UT)
- brightness (may have larger systematic errors)
- relative x position in the image (0 = left border, 1 = right border)
- relative y position in the image (0 = upper border, 1 = lower border)
- right ascension (hours)
- declination (deg)
The coordinates of the observing site are given as well. The camera was pointed
in the north-western direction at about 60 deg altitude. So far I have no
response from the EN, but the coordinator was contacted to check if the meteor
was by chance recorded by one of the camera stations as well.
Best,
Sirko Molau
