OCT 10 2005 - A very bright fireball this morning 6:09am (25mm f0.95 lens).
A peak- hold image below traced the progression of this fireball. It probably had peaked and half of the other portion lies outside the frame. A deinterlaced single frame image was shown on the 2nd image. (The short streak is created by a passing satellite Okean-2 or 90-018A. A skymap plot matching the satellite vs background star is given here.) The bright star in the middle of the frame is gamma Vel at AZ=156d16min and Elev of 35d1min.
Single de-interlaced frame below shows the straight plasma tail trailing from the almost circular nucleus. The fireball took around 0.60 second to transverse the FOV.
