I can play the movie (on my mac), but all I see is the tree/bush -- not seeing the streaks. Maybe i'm not in a dark enough room...? Or contrast setting are wrong? Or my eyes are bad (all of the above?)./Rich From: Joe Bauman via Utah-Astronomy <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> To: Utah Astronomy <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Monday, December 1, 2014 5:56 PM Subject: [Utah-astronomy] Odd meteor streaks? The night of Nov. 26-27, I was sitting on my front porch testing my new iPhone. I wanted to see if it was sensitive enough to record the stars, and aiming near the Orion Nebula. Here is a sequence of eight images, all of them taken at 10:59 except that the last two were taken at 11. The juniper bush is bright because the flash went off for each frame. While I was shooting these I had the strong impression that something flashed down from in front and arched away to the left, sweeping up and then down. I wonder if it was a meteorite that skipped off the atmosphere. Only three frames of the eight show any of this. The one with the longest streak also is the least sharp, possibly because my hand jiggled as I was shooting -- it was pretty startling. I know the quality is crappy. I find that if I shrink the size of the screen that shows it, the quality doesn't seem quite as bad. Just click "download" and this should trigger your Windows Media Player (or whatever kind of video player your computer has) to play it. I would appreciate comments. http://www.slas.us/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=6060 Thanks, Joe _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy Send messages to the list to Utah-Astronomy@mailman.xmission.com The Utah-Astronomy mailing list is not affiliated with any astronomy club.
