RE: (meteorobs) Re: shimmers
I have often seen this with August's kappa Cygnids, and a few percent of
"sporadic" meteors have this effect as well. To me they appear as if a 4th
of July sparkler were thrown...in fact I saw one during my Orionid
observations, which should be completed this week. They also seem to have a
propensity to be gold or Orange, which is unusual, since I have very poor
color detection. And generally slow. (that would make sense if they were
loosely assembled..at a higher velocity they'd disintegrate so fast it
would likely produce a bright terminal burst of a fairly short meteor,
IMHO)

And now something completely different:
Has any of you long-time observers seen a type of meteor that I could swear
I've seen but may be an optical delusion... I believe I've seen while
guiding a long exposure photo meteors that look like the last sparkles of
a
"comet" fireworks. They look like a small handfull of particles hit rather
than a single one, or a not very cohesive little body hits and breaks up
immediately on impacting the atmosphere. It's very beautiful but I've never
been looking directly at it when one such thing happens, therefore the
doubt
in my mind... It's a very beautiful and delicate shimmery thing, but I
don't
know if it's real or not!
Thanks for any thoughts on this!
