Re: OT-Lunar meteor impact imaging?

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Thanks George:

The earthshine area is under watch by the ALPO impact watch at that time, but I have not looked
to see if an impact area " phase form" is posted. But usually if the date is listed, it is indeed possible for
Impacts. Will have to look and perhaps ask for form to be composed. I hope to image at 1000mm or 1240mm,
depending on if someone joins in.?

The Az of the moon here at Aug12, 2hUT is 233 degrees, and? Perseus? ? ??
position as produced by GUIDE, sits at 31 AZ,
so 202 degrees apart, would seem correct to me for impacts. Just rough numbers.

Good catch!!
Lawrence Garrett?

Lawrence,
?
No reason to take the discussion off-line in my opinion, a fair number of IOTA folks have support lunar impact work over the years.? I'd be interested in participating, but my observatory is severely tree-line impacted to the west, unfortunately.
?
There was a related talk on this at last weekend's ALPO conference, day 2--last talk prior to the keynote.? You can watch it on YouTube here, go about 4 hours, 10 minutes in: ?

Hi Lawrence:
?
[To all - Lawrence has a long history of asteroid work (and has a rock named for him). He has captured several occultations and has a RunCam NE2 and VTI. He's not too far from Burlington VT].

Do you know... Is the Perseid meteor stream heading roughly "toward" the Earth-facing part of the Moon? Also, one comment - video monitoring could add up to MANY files with MANY Gbs of data. But it could be a worthwhile endeavor. And yes, any impact really should be video recorded by two independent video systems in order to distinguish an impact from a cosmic ray hit on the detector.
