(meteorobs) Night use of IR domes for meteors.

Chris was right. (not surprising.)

Background stars are almost completely eliminated at night regardless the settings.

0.1 mag star can only be brought out with extreme massaging in a photo program here.

This renders the use of IR domes to daylight only and even that has serious limitations Daylight use turns the camera into a motion detector for everything in the sky. Bright fireballs could still be detected tho' if located well away from Sun and internal camera reflections.

IR dome comes off in a few minutes, until a 2nd camera for daylight is up.
