Re: (meteorobs) Some Perseid photos
Hi Kevin and All
The lights along the horizon seem to go the other way if anything. The
stars seem normal also near the end of the meteor. Normal differential
refraction ought to make it appear to rise, if I have it figured right.
Lacking anything to the contrary I would opt for the effect to be in the
meteor trajectory. Just a guess of course :)
Clear Dark Skies to All
Cheers
