A fireball at night, brighter than the venus - 7.4.2023 at 03.45 Jyväskylä Observation number 114961

Visibility III / V

Vesa Vasankari, Ursa (Länsi-Suomi)

A cooling fireball high in the southeast sky. It's good that these cameras have some of that sky collectively covered, because the camera (720p) of the more impressive vertical video had not seen this flight with its motion detection. Fortunately, the wider southern view had captured this, and the better flight video was then found with it. In the wide view, the star above the Moon is Arcturus, but I couldn't be sure which is the brightest star in the camera pointing sharply upwards in the southeast direction. These side-by-side angles are so confusing, and the fact that the southeast camera is actually in a vertical position distorts the view even more compared to the other camera.

Tuon ylemmän videon kuvasuhde on jälleen väärä eli pitäisi olla pystyssä. Nyt on pystykuva litistynyt vaakaan. Koetan vielä korjata ja yrittää vaikka neliöversiota.

No niin. Nopean eksperimentoinnin jälkeen taitaa olla viisainta jättää alkuperäisen pystykuvasuhteen runtelu mahdollisimman vähiin jotta ei litisty muotopuoleksi täällä Taivaanvahdin prässissä :-). En ole halunnut mm. kameran kiinalaislogoa pitää näissä tänne laittamissani kuvissa. Mutta nyt siis molemmat videot vastaavat alkuperäistä näkymää.

Kertoisitko vähän tuosta kamerajärjestelmästäsi? Kohtuuhintainen ja helppokäyttöinen tulipallokamerasysteemi kiinnostaisi kovasti :)
