The European AllSky7 fireball network

Oh thats genuinely realy cool.

I remember back when I lived in Berlin and studied planetary Science there. One of the Professors calculated and predicted where one of those Meteors is gonna go down. So people went there and watched and photographed it. Afterwards there was a little bit of an all hands on deck where a lot of students with different Professors went out and searched for the remains of the meteorite.

This is really cool.

The disclaimer on the website is weird though:

How can those be copyright protected at all given they have been taken automatically from surveillance camera without creative input from anyone?

To my (non lawyer) understanding, this would fall in the same category as CCTV footages which aren't considered worthy of copyright protection.

Any thoughts?

Looking at some of those you can understand why people claim to have seen UFOs.

I wonder if the temporal noise reduction (evident in the video clips) is being applied before integrating the frames to create the thumbnails.

I use an alternative software to capture night skies and fireballs: https://github.com/aaronwmorris/indi-allsky

You can use it on Raspberry Pi, for example, with any supported camera. The software is very good, it can automatically create star trails and timelapses.
