Tang Lung Elementary School Allsky, PingTung, Captures First Meteor 24DEC2016

  TAIMON's first Sandia Sentinel Allsky Camera System at Tang Lung Elementary School Allsky, PingTung (Node 41), Taiwan has captured its first meteor 24DEC2016.  Although a very minor meteor event, this marks the beginning of success for the new system installed at the school.

 Tang Lung Elementary School is Taiwan's FIRST school to launch a meteor allsky camera system program that will eventually involve students grades 3-6 in maintaining the camera and computer, and processing data.

  Principal Shi Shi has one of Taiwan's finest astronomy programs, taught at Tang Lung Elementary School, PingTung, Taiwan.  My thanks to Principal Shi, Richard Spaulding formerly of Sandia Natl. Labs who made possible the allsky camera on loan, and Dwayne Free of GoSky Sentinel, USA, for maintaining the computer nodes and worldwide meteor capture data.
 
  I had the pleasure of presenting this allsky camera equipment to the Tang Lung Elementary School as a gifted prototype for Taiwan schools. -Dirk Ross, Tokyo

Other Schools interested in purchasing allsky cameras please contact me by email at- Dirk Ross-
