(meteorobs) Orion Starshoot All-sky Camera II and Meteor Imaging

[Chris Peterson]

The use of a color sensor means sensitivity takes a hit. This camera 
probably can't detect meteors dimmer than mag 0 0r -1, so you should 
think of it more as a fireball camera than something good for routinely 
recording showers.
