Shane Observatory employs three methods of meteor detection<\/p>\n

DETECTION USING AN FM CARRIER FREQUENCY<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

The Shane Observatory has implemented a meteor detection project using information obtained from the Sky Scan Science Awareness Project<\/a> and a program called Radio-SkyPipe.<\/a> Two FM automobile radios tuned to 98.7 MHz, a Yagi antenna, and a Quadrifilar Helicoidal antenna,<\/a> enable us to collect data and present it here in graph form.<\/p>\n

DETECTION USING A TV CARRIER FREQUENCY<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Shane Observatory has associated itself with the International meteor detection organization called Radio Meteor Observatories On Line.<\/a> Using the programs Spectrum Lab and Colorgramme RMOB lab, along with an ICOM IC-PCR1000 receiver tuned to Channel 3 video carrier frequency 61.240 MHz, we are able to collect data and present it here. Meteor activity on the left is in graph form for a 24 hour period. Data in the right hand box accumulates during the month and is colour based with blue signifying zero activity. Colours approaching red signify increased activity.<\/p>\n
