(meteorobs) pictures about observing meteors

[Roberto]

Hi,
I have one Mintron video camera with CCD (similar to Watec WAT-902H2). I am
trying a program in order to record meteors in way automatic rifle.
According to you the program works also with one video camera like mine?
Clear skies,
Roberto Haver
