My camera picked up a very bright meteor and well placed to get a spectrum. Brightness at -3.5 might be subject to some error in the analysis software due to the presence of the bright moon. However, the meteor spectrum is brighter than the spectrum of Venus (mag -4) so I estimate meteor magnitude was brighter than Venus. If anyone captured this and has the data, it would be great to triangulate it.

Great catch,
It looks like a stony job with a very strong magnesium line and early start sodium. If you get an orbit, I'd bet on a low-ish Vg....
Cheers,
Bill.
Thank you Bill, it's a nice one
I'm not that far on orbits yet, just UA Analyser. I'm still hoping someone will have caught it. I'll post a digitised spectrum once I choose one of the decent green LASER calibration files.
cheers
