Hi,
The sky cleared fairly well but some high cloud persisted. Activity seemed low with very few Lyrids captured. Caught 6 fairly bright ones on the wide field camera. However no spectra at all! Changed times, they might not be very useful/interesting but it’s rare when I DON’T get a spectrum of some sort each night!
Might get some clear sky again tonight, we’ll see.
Philip, as Robin says these look very like specular reflections from the new, true vermin of the sky. On real time video one can watch them polluting their way across the sky. For every meteor I catch I must get 20/30/40 satellites. The most I’ve had in one video clip was 12! Even adjusting the various slow object settings, with the low light capability of the fast optics I can’t quite kill them all off… rather infuriating and depressing at the same time!
Can I ask what camera and lens you are using? I also use a ZWO ASI120MM-S and a 1.8mm f1.4 fisheye lens which is a near all sky and good for fireball monitoring.
I’m currently upgrading the enclosure with some small fans and heating elements. Hopefully be finished by the Perseids this year.
Cheers,
Bill.
