[meteorite-list] Italian Superbolide 8FEB2011

[Matson, Robert D.]

Hi Dirk,

In that top video, the bright blue star right of center is Sirius. The
dimmer star
at top center is Procyon. The third bright star at the right side (above
the
bolide) is Betelgeuse.  If you look very closely, you can see the 3 belt
stars
of Orion, and the bolide passed just to the left of them. Wherever this
camera
is located, the bolide terminated at a bearing of around 240 degrees
(i.e. WSW).
I can give a more precise azimuth once I know the camera's location.
--Rob
