(meteorobs) Video Meteor System Survey
Dear friends,
at the "European Symposium on Occultation Projects" last weekend in
Berlin I got to know Andrew Elliot from the UK. I was surprised to hear,
that he has been using an image intensified video system for several years.
Thus, it was another proof for my suspiction, that there are much more
video systems around than we currently know about.
This is why I have now decided to compile a list of all video meteor
systems currently in operation. If you own a system or regularly operate
one, please, fill out the little questionaire below to your best
knowledge, and send it back to
smo@informatik.tu-chemnitzdot de
or via snail mail to
Sirko Molau
Str.246 Nr.16
D-13086 Berlin
Germany
If some of your friends do have such systems, but not an own e-mail
account, plaese, forward them my request or fill out the form for them.
The results of the survey will soon be published in IMO's WWW Video
Observer Pages at http://www.tu-chemnitzdot de/~smo/imo/video/video.html
Thank you in advance for your help.
