(meteorobs) OT -Requested a specific meteor software

[Gural, Peter S.]

Paco;

I had developed a set of C software modules for detecting meteors in
pairs of long exposure (3 minute duration) all-sky imagery for the
Spanish Fireball Network. One would only need to interface an image
reader and process driver in C, then send pairs of images to the user
called detection modules. The detection algorithm makes no assumptions
on flat fielding or duration of exposure as long as the trailed stellar
arcs are reasonably close to linear streaks. I could also put together a
driver program/executable if I can find a reader for the image format
you generate from your camera.
