Hello everyone
your conversation has piqued my interest. A few months ago I devoted myself, for a while, to meteoric observation. Exactly, not to the photographic or visual capture of meteor strips, but to the detection of stratospheric dust caused by impacting meteors. For this I have taken my cue from the following article.

I will not elaborate, I will only say that I have only partially succeeded. The main flaw was the way of acquiring the detected brightness values with a telephoto lens D100 mm f500. In fact I wrote down by hand the values returned by a photocell (taken from an old Zenith camera). In short, I have abandoned the intentions; however, I return to that idea from time to time.
