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

[stange]

I will try IRIS Ykchia. I had downloaded it long ago but never used it.

What is really attractive to me is Chris's shiney meteor shower images. The 
forground surface shiney appearance is beautiful with the meteor streaks and 
dark sky. All we need to do is keep it round for all-sky cam's.
