(meteorobs) New Observer

[Pat Branch]

Iakovos,
Check Chris Peterson and Strange34 e-mails and website links.
They have descriptions of their set-ups. Search for All Sky cameras.
There are at least 2 software programs that compare two frame captures
and if there is no difference it discards the data so you only have
tracks (sometimes planes and satellites) saved.
Meteorec I think is one. This should get you enough to find a number
of set-ups out there.
Good luck and report any tracks you capture back to us!
Pat

have all that time to chek all those pictures).
