re meteor in scope

Thanks Mike! I to am shocked at the grass fire this meteor has caused

I have posted this pic on other forums and not been subjected to the

negativity,as i have here,I have submitted high res pics to many other people,including other experienced astronomers in other countries,again

i have had no doubting feed back,I currently have another person in Brisbane looking at it,and is making analaysies.I have spoken with that person on the phone,to give all details.

As Mike has confirmed there was no slewing going on,or star that we were focusing on,also Stuart,if you have examied the full res pic,

Why did'nt you make a comment on the second meteor in the picture?
or have you not seen it,too busy counting pixels?perhaps.

It is above the bright one and goes right across the sky,its faint but
when you blow the pic right up,you should have noticed that straight away!

So that evidence by it self blows Stuarts threoy of focusing on a star and slewing bit,Plus Mikes statement,WHO WAS THERE AT THE TIME!

I don't have a problem with Stuats Threoys,what i do have a problem

with is people are looking at it.and Going "yes,he is right,chris appears to be wrong"

already that is the feeling i am getting,by reading Octranes,and Sckrerdruver ones comments,and others.

I feel that Stuart has not really taken into account all of waht was going on.

I am not sending any more full res pics,as this debate has cost me alot of bandwidth,time,and headaches.there are plenty of people around the
world that have most of the frames i took that night,i an sure they will nut it out,


C P.S stuart is a cat did things like that in my observatory,it would be dead!
