Re: Eastern Ontario Bolide?
Yes, an all sky camera is on my wish-list as well... Far to west to of seen anything even if I was out but its cool to hear. -- YouTube?Content Creator & Mentoring ?(Astro/Cameras/Tech) / (Space Games & Modding)
You caught it Rick. Nice. I wouldn't mind setting up an all-sky camera for fun, not where I am in the city though.

I've been working on getting an allsky camera up and running.?
It's an ASI678 colour camera with extended IR response.? The
extended IR washes out the colours and makes all the trees pink so
I just replaced the clear protective window in the camera with a
UV/IR filter.? When it cleared off unexpectedly about bedtime that
evening I got it running to try out the new filter, continuous 30s
exposures.? Attached is the image from 0630UT.? Nicely centered in
the sliver of sky I have over the house.? From a few km west of
Elgin.

Hi guys,
There are multiple reports of a bolide 2 days
ago on Reddit. The first video is from a Nest doorbell cam and
points southeast in Kingston. Looks to be at 02h31 ET.
These are just written reports:

Hi Greg. I'm "guru" just a second season;) DIY Newtonian with SW16 goto mirrors on CQ350pro mount. About gradient, try GraXpert app. It's free and has very nice reviews. For processing Im using Siril, StarNet. Clear skies!
Nice M101.? I caught the same stretch of good weather.? Unfortunately, a reflection on the luminance channel ruined the image.? Detail is ok for bortle 8/9.
?
Maybe a processing guru out there can tell me how to fix the background.
Andrei, what beast do you use with a 16" aperture?

need thickwalled carboard tubes for telecope making?
about 6 inches diameter. Out for blackbox pickup at 3 Delta St. in Bells Corners.

Thank you Albert! Heavy (16") aperture;) Clear skies!
I'm honestly speechless.? Such a good image!

Just a reminder that Kingston and Belleville Centres are hosting their annual Fall'n'Stars star party 15-17 Sep.? All are welcome. This is a smaller more intimate star party, usually a few dozen attendees.? You can find registration details and form at
Johnson's RV park is a lovely dark site in the SE corner of Prince Edward County, great camping, good facilities.
