Hi,
I also used to correspond with Ed, I don’t know if you’re aware but Ed died last year. I only found out myself earlier this year after emailing some other Canadian collegues. He was always very encouraging, he persuaded me to persevere after decades of nothing on film. We dicussed the merits of film vs the emerging digital technologies as I had bought my first watec in 2005 too. It was Ed who mentioned your page in our musings.
The methods are as old as they come, it’s the detector technology that has evolved quickly. I’m surprised myself how good the reults can be if fortune places a nice meteor in the field of view.
Looking forward to more!
Bill.
