Hi Linton,
We have a very good method of calibrating these cameras. For some
reason, we have too many experts up there that have actually never
calibrated calling the shots and saying what is.
There is a team of folks that do this on a regular basis. We just got
caught with our pants down due to a camera moving without notification.
I am gathering info now for the team to recalibrate.
Got it handled but thanks much for the offer. Please report your
witnessed event to AMS!

Hi Jim.
I'm up in Torrey, Utah, just west of Capitol Reef N.P. and just saw a
huge fireball at 04:40 am MDT Oct.2. (That would be 03:40 for you, in
MST, right?) If that fireball appears (it would be pretty low) on the
Flagstaff camera, I can help with the calibration. The AMS site has a
witness in Flagstaff and two in Phoenix.

Hi all!
Fortunately, the Flagstaff sky cam caught the flight of the meteor.
Unfortunately, the camera was moved a few months ago and no one
involved with the calibration files knew that. So, the process of
calibration will have to begin again before a proper heading can be
determined. "Close enough" is not going to cut it. This can take
weeks to get good star profiles for this site.
