Some years ago I acquired a dark reddish colored plastic dome for my
all-sky camera. I am not sure if it had infrared filtering qualities but
at least it made more contrast in the sunlit sky. Using continuous
video recording I conducted an all-sky visual search for daylight
fireballs in conjunction with my radio array. When there was a large
radio meteor reflection on my charts I would go my video recording and
check for any sort of meteor flash or streak. After a few months of
daily observing I never detected any visual daytime meteors so I ended
that experiment.
I may try again for daytime visual meteors.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
For example: Is it possible to use something like a HOYA #72 red filter
on an all sky lens using a camera such as a Watec 902H2?
Thank you in advance for any replies.
