I could also confirm the activity from October Camelopardalids. My meteor camera METKA, operating in Kostanjevec, Slovenia recorded 13 meteors last night and 4...
Folks, a regular adjustment of the time of your MetRec PC is necessary, since the computer time drifts significantly over time. In central europe, the time is ...

Hi Sirko- Have you considered just adding support for a GPS receiver directly? Then you aren't locked into an obsolete device, and you provide support ...
... [snip] ... Be carefull here. For as far as I know, many handheld GPS receivers do not provide the actual 1pps signal through their connection port. Instead...
The Garmin GPS18 provides a true 1pps signal with a specified accuracy of 1 microsecond. It's a common receiver to use with various time inserters because it...

Hi Chris, ... I can do that if - you give me a description of the serial interface (i.e. how to read out the time) - you act as a beta tester (I don't have a...
Hi Ilkka, ... thanks. The idea is simple and the solution straight forward. It would not be too difficult to incorporate this feature in MetRec as well (i.e....
