Hi all!!
I have become interested in the recording, material which is entering our atmosphere. Of particular interest to me is meteors, yet any burnout will do...
What interested me initally was a large burnout, which I visually sighted. It was more impressive than anything I had ever seen. The material fractured and several chunks broke away just before it burnt out. The junk was coming in, almost parallel with the horizon.
Anyway, I hope to use this thread to document the sightings I have made and encourage others into the most enjoyable pursuit.
The method I am currently using, is to set up my DSLR and take a series of 30secs frames. I will capture up to 280, then review the individual frames for "junk".
I encourage anyone to add an image of what they have captured... I would prefer we keep this thread to burnup's / out's within our atmosphere. But other's are allowed too
Here are some of my recent sightings.
Location- Beecroft, Sydney
Taken- 18-08-09
The first shows, two items of interest. It is a stack of three frames. You can see how close they came to each other.
The second is another burn out, taken on the same night.
