Sharing a couple of shots from my iPhone running the NightCap app in Meteor mode, which I left out running overnight on a power bank last night. It was facing south east, from my garden in Coulsdon.

Included a stack of all things it captured (including a couple of planes I believe) and also one with star trails removed.

Enjoy!

Hi Matt,

This looks very interesting, I haven't heard of that phone app
combination. I'm a little confused, some of the objects look like
conventional meteors but the ones that have a constant brightness and
start and end abruptly look like satellites? Do you know if this is the
case, I can also imagine that the app could be clipping meteors to look
more like satellite images.

Thanks,

Roy
