Scientific paper

This paper demonstrates that, even from light polluted areas, useful meteor work can be done. In the center of a medium sized city an intensified video system was set up and the goal, instead of activity monitoring, was to do some orbit analysis. In April 2001, around the Lyrid maximum, multi-station observations were conducted from two stations, and together 50~meteor trails containing five double-station meteors were collected. As an example, three Lyrids were analyzed and their orbits calculated. The results illustrate that it is quite possible to do this kind of work under less favorable circumstances, but also showed some general problems with video multi-station work: neither radiant nor velocity could be determined accurately enough to compute all orbital elements precisely. Possible improvements to this are discussed.
