Details:
I removed the IR filter from my meteor cam but not in my Sony A7s camera and noticed a diffused scintillation comming from the location of R Doradus that was not visible in my Sony A7s camera. I ran both cameras side by side to better show how my Sony camera could not pick up the diffused scintillation seen by the meteor cam. I'm thinking this could be because the scintillation is in the near infrared band. I did research on R Dor and found that it is very bright in the infrared band, so maybe that is what is seen in the video. R Dor is a Variable star located in the southern constellation of Dorado. It can be seen low in the horizon from my location in Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico. The scintillation can be better seen in the following video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M85MZe0104I
