(meteorobs) Fireball cameras

[Roberto Haver]

You can use one Mintron camera (in Europe costs approximately 350 euro).
As alternative goes also a cameras well that it has 0,01 lux. These little cost (50/100 euro from 1/2").
The problem and the risk to then see little stars in the field.
With a chip from 1/2"for having a great field you must use focals from 2mm to 4mm (price 50/150 euro).
