As seems to happen with every new fall, I find significant discrepancies between reported All-Sky camera locations, and the coordinates that the camera operators claim for their cameras. In the case of the Soest, Germany, camera, I did not have the camera coordinates yesterday, so I just used the center of Soest, Germany. But according to the operator's website:
http://www.chief-impactor.de/meteorcam/index.html the camera is at 50°42'38"N, 7°22'44"E, 250m. If you plot this on a map, it is NOWHERE NEAR Soest -- it's in Buchholz, 60 miles to the southwest of Soest! So which is right for this camera -- the city name or the coordinates? --Rob -----Original Message----- From: drtanuki [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, October 19, 2011 1:58 PM To: Matson, Robert D.; [email protected] Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Germany/Netherlands meteor update Rob and List, It seems that the triangulation leads to a potential drop in Holland: http://lunarmeteoritehunters.blogspot.com/2011/10/soest-germany-fireball-meteor-16oct2011.html Thank you Rob!
