TLE observations from the Czech Republic
An enthusiastic
observer, Martin Popek has captured numerous TLEs: sprites and even an ELVES in
Central Europe from the Czech
Republic in the Summer
season of 2011. The interest in TLEs and his persistence brought the success
for Martin in this year. He uses a proven setup to record the events: a
Watec902h2 Ultimate camera + Computar 8mm F1.3 lens and the UFO Capture
program. He has published an overview about TLEs in Czech and recently one of his images appeared in the news of SpaceWeather.com. He use to report about the events he captures
on the web. Below are some nice examples of
his records:
A bunch of
sprites (26/05/2011)
A lonely
wanderer in false colors (07/06/2011)
A large
jellyfish sprite event in false colors (27/08/2011)
