Re: (meteorobs) abundance of nebulous meteors was Fwd: Howfast do Meteors go?
Hi folks:
Since I do not have good dark sky - so my observations are purely chance and
through the rather narrow ~ 3 degree FOVof my low lux ccd (LM to 9.0) . I do
encountered slow meteors that ended in fan-out shaped while most others are
just pencil-thin uniform flashed with the characterisitcs arrow head burst.. I
believe these are the macro - naked eye equivalent of the so called nebulous
meteors.....Are they?
