This meteor was detected by my software last night. It made it deep into the atmosphere, down to 34 km, despite it was not very bright at all. I post it here because it was such a nice detection - the software working perfectly as intended, locating stars for fine-tuned calibration and determining the full track from multiple stations. I used to do all this by hand a few years ago, so it's so nice to see it automated. smile

midtskogen, It would be a cool challenge to try to calculate where it landed so you can go find it and keep it biggrin

If anything of this survived, it's currently resting at the bottom of the sea, which saves me from further work on this one.

Featured in The Great Courses by Alex Filippenko. The "incredibly bright Iridium flare" was something I shot in the mid 90's.
