Hi Denis, Francisco and all,
I also capture point of light flashes each night in my all-sky camera. I
used to try to correlate them all to satellite flashes but often they
would not coincide with listed satellites.
It would be great if a list of gamma ray and other natural space burst
events could be supplied to all-sky meteor camera operators so they
could check their nightly data for possible captures. Does any list of
burst events like this exist?
Thank you.
