Images from Meteors and Fireballs

This picture shows two recordings of the same meteor. On November 21/22, 1995, we had the fortune to witness and capture the incredible outburst of the Alpha-Monocerotids visual and with two parallel mounted video systems in Chemnitz (Germany). The left image was taken by MOVIE, a wide angle video system with a 2.8/20 mm photo lens, an first generation image intensifier and a Camcorder. The right picture comes comes from VK1, a prototype for a new video camera series with an 1.4/50mm photo lens, a second generation MCP and a video camera module.

The image processing was done with the appropriate analysis software for video meteors.
