Lyrids 2020 observations by AMOS, spectral, visual and photographic methods
Abstract
We present observations of the 2020 Lyrid meteor shower by different techniques from Slovakia and the Canary Islands. The visual observations have been supported by video observations using the AMOS systems and are in good agreement with IMO visual data. We also present data of a Lyrid fireball observed on 2020 April 21 at 23h53m20s UTC by multiple stations of AMOS, AMOS-Spec and by a digital photographer. The fireball was about -4.5 magnitude and left a dust trail photographically visible for about 22 minutes. Just several minutes before, very long fireball was observed at 23h45m29s UTC by AMOS stations as well as another photographer from Kosice. The images illustrate the beauty of the night sky.
