About this image

This is a stack of 473 meteors detected overnight using my NW facing camera (UK00DE). Beat my previous record by about 350 meteors.

The camera is part of the GMS (Global Meteor System) and UKMON (UM Meteor Network) meteor monitoring systems, which track and compute accurate trajectories and importantly calculate (with very reasonable accuracy) the location of any meteorite falls. Ignore the obvious aircraft trails, the system does automatically
