Hi Karl.

It is difficult to estimate the video meteor brightness. I 
correct the values estimated from the recognition software 
(MetRec), as it is inclined to estimate the magnitude of 
the meteors only in narrow range, depending from the stars 
of reference.
I estimate the magnitudes from a image that is the sum of 
all meteor frames and I apply a negative correction in 
relation to the meteor lenght.

Clear skies, 
Enrico
