Hi Agrafoi, 

it is always possible to write code to search the images looking for differences. It's not worth the time for me. No code that I could write would catch the ones in the clouds, too much change. 

http://astrometry.net/ was used for the plate solving.

Thank you Jeff for your explanation!

I ask if it's possible to assemble an automatic facility whereby catch automatically the brilliant meteors. In short, a device which activate itself only when it's necessary, avoiding all the work of exploring hundreds of frames.

Then, could you tell me how you've obtained the stellar maps overimposed to your pictures?

Thank you again
