Dear List,
  I would like to start a discussion on meteor/bolide fireball detectors for amateurs, on or off-list. Are there any websites or has anyone ever made their own detector system that speak to this question?
  Costs, cameras, mirrors, power supplies, and recording equipment are all questions to construct a complete system.
  There are several persons on this list very qualified to discuss this topic... Marco, Chris, Mike, Robert, others????
  Perhaps there are other list members that would like to construct their own if there is some advice?

  Thank you in advance.
Best Always, Dirk Ross...Tokyo
