#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

The #SpaceX #Falcon9 #RocketPlume was captured on 3 of our #RaspberryPi #MeteorCameras, #auroracam + #AllSkyCamera. I've put the clips into one video with extra DSLR photos. Oxfordshire, UK 19:55-20:05UT 24 March '25. Watch here: https://youtu.be/-BH_Eg4hWaw

We had more #aurora overnight on 7th/8th October 2024 captured on our #AuroraCam #AllSkyCamera + 2 of our #MeteorCameras (in mono). There was eve a #StableAuroralRedArc #SARArc visible on the all sky cam! Oxfordshire, UK (52' N). Watch the video here:

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

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

I've now pulled together the busy parts of the overnight timelapse videos from our 4 #GMN #RaspberryPi #MeteorCameras into one video. The #Quadrantids were coming thick and fast! https://youtu.be/P6I0B-5JoN0?si=bR9kK-kO1KbHSQVH #MeteorShower #Meteors

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.

So many #Perseids + other #Meteors again overnight 14th/15th August 2023 on our #MeteorCameras in #Oxfordshire; well over 300 on 3 of them! These are the track-stacks from each. Dotted lines are aircraft that were in the same frame, wiggly lines are insects #Perseids2023 #PerseidsMeteorShower

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

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

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

Amazing lunar #AtmosphericOptics caught on our #GMN #MeteorCameras + all sky camera last night!! Extremely bright #Paraselenae (#moondogs) + #ParaselenicCircle fragments, #UpperTangentArc #22DegreeHalo & #CircumzenithalArc #LunarAtmosphericOptics #Moon #GibbousMoon

I forgot to share the timelapse video links from our #meteorcameras yesterday. They're on my husband's YT channel, here's our SE facing camera video; this camera detected 184 #meteors! #Geminids #GeminidsMeteorShower #Geminids2022 https://youtu.be/zilVare3oWg
