(meteorobs) Radio Orionids

[stange34 at sbcglobal.net]

Ed, Will your new(?) spectrograph images be a different type from the images 
of before?..... Similar to a meteor streak with spectra-radiation bands 
parallel to the travel path?

Things here were very different with the IR dome last night after midnight 
when trigger level was adjusted really low. Over 240 triggers, short period 
meteors, small fireballs, and many triggers from wind blowing sunlit tree 
branches in the early morning hours plus sunlight reflecting off of really 
nice Canadian Geese formations(3) flying south to Reno and beyond.

It is difficult to separate out fast aircraft with sunlight reflection, from 
meteors with their own intrinsic radiation. The small fireballs are easier 
because of tail and ablation shapes. I hope to solve some of these problems. 
Some of the IR images are quite interesting in their presentation....don't 
know what they are yet.

I looked for a picture of your new spectrograph on your URL but could not 
find it.
