I wish I had the resources to have a HD camera pointed at the sky 24/7 and recording capacity for moments like these.

- ddalex 4y agoI mean an HD webcam is not that expensive, and you don't need to record everything, just the interesting actions, any video surveillance software would do....
- capableweb 4y agoTypically, video footage is not archived 24/7. Instead, it is common to retain footage for a set number of hours or days before deleting it. If you want to preserve specific segments of the footage, you can "lock" them to prevent deletion. This process works similarly to a recording buffer, and it is similar to how dash cams operate if you are familiar with those.

- pjsg 4y agoDoing this is not actually that complicated -- check out https://globalmeteornetwork.org/ https://globalmeteornetwork.org/ for more information. I have a camera pointing due south in Massachusetts and I didn't record it -- I think it was too far west from my position. This was my meteor stack for that night: http://server.istrastream.com/rms/US001N/stack/1678618383.jpg http://server.istrastream.com/rms/US001N/stack/1678618383.jp... Yes, some of these tracks are planes, and there are a bunch of planes (see http://server.istrastream.com/rms/US001N/captured_stack/1678618383.jpg http://server.istrastream.com/rms/US001N/captured_stack/1678... for the unfiltered set!) Total cost is certainly under $150 for the camera, housing etc. The bigger challenge is finding a good place to install the camera that has a good view of the sky.
