Re: (meteorobs) Introduction
Hi John,
Do you have any CCD images with meteors? (Or is there anyone know this
on web?) I always wonder what it would look like, for the usually small
field of view of CCD. Should it be just a straight line like those of
satellites (some satellite trails may have obvious magnitude variations)
or it would be some line with changing width? I think that I saw something
before from my CCD image which might be a meteor (when observing other
objects), but I can not find it out at this moment.
Clear Skies, Jin
