Physics

Photographic Techniques: Meteors

Scientific paper

Visual observers who plot meteors, not only determine the position of the meteor, but also estimate the (angular) speed of the meteor. The latter information facilitates the stream association and increases the reliability of radiant area diagrams obtained from plottings. Photographic meteor trails from single station observations are used in the same way as visual meteor plots. For double-station photography, the use of a rotating shutter is even more important. In this case, the actual motion of the meteoroid through space and through the atmosphere is determined. The radiant is the direction of this movement; the rotating shutter information yields the speed of the meteoroid. The construction of a rotating shutter for meteor photography is shortly described.
