(meteorobs) OT -Requested a specific meteor software program....

[stange]

Hi Francisco,

You should try transferring all the pictures stored in the camera to your 
computer in a folder.

Then use a software program such as Radvideo to convert your camera files 
into an .avi.

This same program can convert various still image files to other file types 
before converting them all to an .ave if it is necessary for that to be 
done.

Then in .avi form.... first try HandyAvi or another program similar to scan 
for meteors.

If you can give me an idea of how big the image file sizes are.... I could 
try some of them out for you if you send by e-mail. If you decide to do this 
makes sure enough files are there to cover a time when there was a meteor 
event. Such as some progressively sequenced files BEFORE, DURING, and AFTER.

I do not know if I can receive a bunch of files by e-mail so it would be 
better for you to try it on your own.  -YCS

Hello list,

Interesting topic. Thank you for all the information.

I have another doubt. Does anyone look for meteors in still images? I
have a digital camera taking 30sec exposures all the nigth. But looking
for meteors is a quite time-consuming task ( ~1000 images/nigth). Does
anyone know any software that compares images? Two consecutive images
are almost identical except meteors, satellites, planes... It shouldn´t
be difficult.

Thank you. Best,

Paco Ocaña
