Mary McIntyre Astronomy#Sprites above storms over the SE of England captured on our #RaspberyPi #GMN #MeteorCameras in #Oxfordshire 180km away from the storms. Sprites are a type of upper atmospheric #TransientLuminousEvent that occur very high above thunderstorms. We had some lucky cloud gaps giving us a clear sight of them! #TLE #Thunderstorm #UKStorm
The #SpaceX #Falcon9 #RocketPlume was captured on 3 of our #RaspberryPi #MeteorCameras, #auroracam + #AllSkyCamera. I've put the clips into one video with extra DSLR photos. Oxfordshire, UK 19:55-20:05UT 24 March '25. Watch here: https://youtu.be/-BH_Eg4hWaw

Another night of aurora borealis from North Oxfordshire (52' N)! Overnight 7th 8th October 2024
Here are the all night track-stacks from our 4 #GMN #MeteorCameras in Oxfordshire overnight 12th/13th August 2024. You can clearly see the #Perseids radiant on UK002F. We had 3,360 matched events across the #UKMeteorNetwork that night! #Perseids2024 #MeteorShower #Meteors
Crazy numbers of #Perseids on our #MeteorCameras last night! I love sharing these but remember this is not what you'll see visually or even capture with a DSLR. My camera was pointing the same way as UK001L; it captured 492 #meteors, I only got 5 all night. Visual rate ~20 per hr
We had 2,301 matched #Meteors last night across the UK Meteor Network, many #Perseids! Our 4 #GMN #MeteorCameras in #Oxfordshire picked up loads because they're very sensitive, but visually we were seeing about 20 per hour. The radiant is very apparent on these track-stacks! #PerseidsMeteorShower #MeteorShower
Another very busy night on our #MeteorCameras last night in #Oxfordshire with #Perseids rates ramping up. We had 1,184 matched #meteors across the UK last night! The dotted lines are aircraft that were in the shot at the same time as a meteor #MeteorShower #Perseids2024

I've now pulled together the busy parts of the overnight timelapse videos from our 4 #GMN #RaspberryPi #MeteorCameras into one video. The #Quadrantids were coming thick and fast! https://youtu.be/P6I0B-5JoN0?si=bR9kK-kO1KbHSQVH #MeteorShower #Meteors
Quadrantids Meteors Captured on our 4 GMN Meteor Cameras Overnight 3rd/4th January 2024
Loads of #meteors captured last night on our #GMN #RaspberryPi #MeteorCameras from Oxfordshire, UK, many of them #Quadrantids. Here are the track-stacks, 248 meteors on UK000F, 416 on UK001L, 418 on UK002F with the shower #radiant in the middle + 314 on UK0006.
