[O04-P05] Simplified observation of the bright meteor using web-camera images exposed for two seconds
Keywords:radiant, Geminids, meteor observations, web-camera
From August 2019 to December 2019, we conducted photographic observations of meteors by using a web-camera attaching a standard lens towards the night sky and acquiring continuously 2-second exposures.
We collected data of Geminids meteors and identified the radiant hour by hour.
Since this method can set data volume to 1/60 of the usual video observationans of the same time and also can compress it, handling of data is easy.
Therefore, it is possible to record the whole observational data of one evening on a personal computer also in the crowded sky of a city area with many streaks (airplanes and artificial satellites) other than heavenly bodys.
This technique can contribute to the spread of meteor observations.
