  1. Wasn't supposed to be clear last night but the skies must have opened up for a little while at least. #GlobalMeteorNetwork camera picked up 26 (plus 11 sporadics).

    PER (Perseids) - 3
    PCA (psi-Cassiopeiids) - 2
    CAP (Capricornids) - 1

  2. #Sprites above storms over the SE of England captured on our #RaspberyPi #GMN #MeteorCameras in #Oxfordshire 180km away from the storms. Sprites are a type of upper atmospheric #TransientLuminousEvent that occur very high above thunderstorms. We had some lucky cloud gaps giving us a clear sight of them! #TLE #Thunderstorm #UKStorm

  8. Here are the all night track-stacks from our 4 #GMN #MeteorCameras in Oxfordshire overnight 12th/13th August 2024. You can clearly see the #Perseids radiant on UK002F. We had 3,360 matched events across the #UKMeteorNetwork that night! #Perseids2024 #MeteorShower #Meteors

  13. We had 2,301 matched #Meteors last night across the UK Meteor Network, many #Perseids! Our 4 #GMN #MeteorCameras in #Oxfordshire picked up loads because they're very sensitive, but visually we were seeing about 20 per hour. The radiant is very apparent on these track-stacks! #PerseidsMeteorShower #MeteorShower

  14. Loads of #meteors captured last night on our #GMN #RaspberryPi #MeteorCameras from Oxfordshire, UK, many of them #Quadrantids. Here are the track-stacks, 248 meteors on UK000F, 416 on UK001L, 418 on UK002F with the shower #radiant in the middle + 314 on UK0006. Dotted lines are aircraft that were in shot at the same time as a meteor.

  15. Here is the #radiant map of the #meteors captured on our #GMN cameras overnight 13th14th December. All of the blue trails are #Geminids

  16. Despite it being cloudy for over half of the night in Oxfordshire on 13th/14th December, we captured 1169 meteors on our 4 #GMN cameras. Across the UK network we had 2,528 matches but several cameras had so much data that they were late uploading so the real figure is higher! #GeminidsMeteorShower

  17. The #Orionid #meteor shower peaked on Saturday 21st but unfortunately I was clouded out. 🙄

    But on the 19th my #GMN Global Meteor Network cameras still managed to pick up a few Orionids (almost 100 between the 2 cams).

    Also picked up a few meteors from other showers including: Epsilon Geminids
    Leonis Minorids
    Chi Taurids
    Southern Taurids.

    It is a relatively busy time of year for meteor showers.

  22. Lotsa #perseid meteors automatically captured by my #ukmon / #gmn camera while we were away on holiday 🤩

  23. We had more clear sky than we expected last night in Oxfordshire, UK. We saw a good number of #Perseids visually including a nice #fireball + our #GMN #RaspberryPi #MeteorCameras captured well over 200 #Meteors each! Here are the track-stacks from each camera #PerseidsMeteorShower #MeteorShower

  24. Another very busy night on our #GMN #MeteorCameras in Oxfordshire, UK on 8th August 2023. Lots of #Perseids but other minor shower #meteors too. Not a single one of these showed up on my 2,300 DSLR images! #PerseidMeteorShower #MeteorShower

  25. A clear night on 6th/7th August meant we had a very busy night on all 4 of our #GMN #RaspberryPi #MeteorCameras in Oxfordshire, UK. These are the track-stacks from each camera. Dotted or squiggly lines are aircraft or moths in the same frame as a meteor. Plenty of #Perseids! #PerseidsMeteorShower #GlobalMeteorNetwork

  26. Our NW facing #GMN #RaspberryPi #MeteorCamera did capture the mag -5.6 #Fireball this morning but the sky was too bright for analysis. I grabbed this from the nightly timelapse video. Analysis is on the #UKMON archive: tinyurl.com/4pf6r8hp

  27. Short summer nights mean limited imaging time, in my neck of the woods. Especially June/July.

    Disappointed w/ Cocoon nebula result - dual narrowband filter not a good match for this target, IMO. Happy w/ the 11x5 minutes on Eastern Veil nebula.

    Had fun capturing meteors of "new" Tau Herculid meteor shower May 30/31, for the #GMN. Apparently I "cannot attach video to a post already containing images" so will post that in a reply shortly.

  28. Achievements in April:

    First solar image of the year.

    Capture of recently discovered super nova SN2022hrs (in NGC4647, next to M60).

    Established 2 meteor cameras as part of the Global Meteor Network project.

    The GMN cameras automatically capture 'transients' and forward data to a central server for processing. More info here:

  29. Louie's toy is on the left, my toy is on the right 🤪

    In a stretch of bad weather. So this planetary scope setup is idle. ☹️
