Fireball without FR file


zsPeto
 

Hi,
 
last night my camera (HU0002 in Hungary) caught a slow and bight fireball with triple flashing at 2023.03.17. 20:08:50 UT. (That was too high for HR0024, but the big flash is visible on the video on IstraStream.)
 
RMS didn't recognize it as a meteor, so, it is not in the DETECTED, only in the CAPTURED result image.
 
No FR_ file found for the meteor in CapturedFiles / [night] folder.
 
Is there any chance to create the FR_ file after the processing?
 
Or is there a way to create a good quality gif or mp4 from the fits file without the FR_ file?
 
Thanks!
 
Zs.

Im afraid not. The raw video is not kept except in the FR file so if RMS didn't trigger the fireball recorder then the data is gone.

Hi Zsolt,

last night my camera (HU0002 in Hungary) caught a slow and bight fireball
with triple flashing at 2023.03.17. 20:08:50 UT. (That was too high for
HR0024, but the big flash is visible on the video on IstraStream.)
My camera SI0002 recorded this fireball as well (see
<http://istrastream.com/rms-gmn/?id=SI0002>).
It looked very similar in appearance from my point of view.

Clear skies!
Javor

Thanks Mark,
 
Ok, I had no luck with the fireball detector this time... it's strange that not started. Anyways... I'm courious how does it work, I'll have more time this summer and check the code on Github.

Thanks Javor,
 
The fireball looks brilliant on your camera as well!
 
I checked the orbit result file and fotunately another camera (CZ0007) captured it too, so we know the orbit.
 
There was another fireball two days ago, I'll share that soon in another post.
 
 
Cheers,

Its very old code, and I know denis has been keen to find someone to rewrite it for quite a while.

@dario
is actively working on it, hopefully, we'll have an updated version soon which is tested on lots of real data. Back in 2015, we designed it to work on how we thought fireballs would look in the videos. It turns out, they are much more diverse in morphology than we thought.

Cheers,
Denis
