Scientific paper

A comparison is conducted between the Ceplecha (1987) method of determining luminous meteor trajectories on the basis of a computation of the intersections of planes and the novel 'straight least-squares' method, in view of numerical examples. It is established that, while the least-squares method yields correct results, there are cases in which the method of planes is able to further refine those results, since the reduction procedure of fireball photographs gives directions with greater accuracy than the absolute locations.
