(meteorobs) How hot would you like your meteoroid gas?

[Chris Peterson]

I don't know what "outgassing heat" is, but whatever is obvious to you, 
isn't to me. I still see nothing but dust in the wind...

(You can't compare "intensity"- all you have to work with- to "heat". A two 
minute exposure of faint dust can easily be the same intensity as a 10 
millisecond exposure of meteor trail. Also, you can't compare the intensity 
of the head to anything, since it is saturated in the original image. And 
you can't compare the intensity of the tail to the streamers in your 
stretched image, because you've driven those areas into saturation as well.)
