(meteorobs) Useful technique for AMS ...Addendum

[stange]

Hi :  If you are using UFOcapture you can specified the no of seconds to
 continue saving the video clip 'after the events detection'  had completed.
Of course doing so will increase the size of every capture.

Yes, XXXXX -I have done that before but it does not bring out trails better
unless the trails were bright enough to be visible easily in the movie
already. By doubling the SIZE of the movie window it is easier to see faint
trails. Thankyou. YCS
