Goal

Exhaustive list all meteor software ressources. If anything is missing by all means please add it here! :-)

Other software ressources

MUST USE astronomy librairies

Meteor Optical detection

Windows

Linux

  • FreeTure (free)
  • ASGARD: not publicly available (R. Weryk, UWO, Canada)

RaspBerry-Pi

Meteor Radio detection

Lunar Flash

Meteor (optical) data exploitation

Note: I have not found (yet) anything regarding radio data exploitation: please let me know if/when such tool is available
