First fireball catch 2005

Post by ykchia »

Hi :

Just a brief note.... sky wasnt great lately and i decided not to preprogram the vcr for recording leaving the pc to do the sequencing stacks....
It was mostly clouded out from 1/30 past 0 hr till 6:20am... However a decent negative magnitude fireball was detected close to 6am....

Great result, yK. That's certainly an impressive fireball. I also enjoyed the animation of Crux rising, along with the metoers you caught. It almost feels as if I was there watching!

Go well,
Jeremy

Hi Dan:

I couldnt find pieces of wood I need so I dropped in the HDB hardware store and found my wooden hangers ( the type you nailed at the back of your door and hang your trousers etc) . So I bought two and removed all the hooks with a plier....
