(meteorobs) All sky cameras

[Wayne Watson]

If you are looking at meteor track on computer monitor, what you may see 
or don't see is important. I've found using b/w mode for the Sentinel 
cameras to be the best way to view them. Sentinel also allows for 
coloration. In that mode, it's quite possible to miss a dim meteor or 
miss part of the trail. On the other hand, Sentinel provides a txt file 
that has track pixel and brightness data. It's quite possible one 
doesn't see the meteor on the screen, but it is recorded. It's not often 
that I look through the txt files to try to detect a meteor. It does 
open interesting possibilities.
