Abstract

NEMETODE, a network of low-light video cameras in and around the British Isles, operated in conjunction with the BAA Meteor Section and other groups, monitors the activity of meteors, enabling the precision measurement of radiant positions and the altitudes and geocentric velocities of meteoroids and their solar system orbits. The results from observations of the Quadrantid and December alpha Draconid meteor showers during 2012-2019 are presented and discussed.
