(meteorobs) Simple meteor capture system.

[stange34 at sbcglobal.net]

Karl,

There is a reasonably sensitive system without great cost that will 
demonstrate the concept of meteor capture and it can be used in daylight to 
capture most things that are in motion in the sky to demonstrate the 
principles of night capture.

It can use a webcam OR, alternatively, an inexpensive video camera aimed at 
the sky that can put a composite signal into a cheap capture card like 
"AVERMEDIA DVD EZMAKER PCI" installed into your computer.

The program which can do this is free for 10 days(renewable), and if 
purchased is only $40 US currency. It is the most EFFECTIVE cheap system 
available for unattended meteor filming and capture. I run it as a backup 
simultaneously with a more expensive system.
