Details:
I believe I've recorded a rare meteor whose radiant is usually very inactive. However,
This early December —which sees moonless night skies—could see a surprise meteor shower produce about 200 “shooting stars” at its peak. It’s not been active for many decades, but a paper claims that the Andromedid meteor shower could impress in 2023. Known for spectacular outbursts in 1872 and 1885—when it produced thousands of meteors per hour—the Andromedids are predicted to bring “moderate to strong” activity in 2023 and 2036 and “observers should be alert.”
Although this meteor appears faint, I accidentally used an iso of only 200. Usually I use an iso between 1250 to 3200. I'd estimate this meteor was at least 0 magnitude. They are very slow moving and are often yellow in color.
