Meteor – March 20th, 2021

March 21, 2021

I was lucky enough to see this one visually from about 18 miles South-East of home, just outside of town heading back home from a day trip. The meteor burned for a solid 6-7 seconds with a nice white and blue and little bit of green, leaving a small faint trail of smoke. It didn’t pop/explode at the end, but had a nice smooth brightness arc.

This image is from my AllSky camera at home – unfortunately the lights in the back yard were all on (grrrr.) as well as the dome was pretty dusty for some reason, the focus has been off for a while, as well as a little bit of condensation inside the dome. Three of those have been fixed – I need to find a way to mount it up at the roof-line so i can avoid most the back yard light, but easier said than done on a 2-story house
