Abstract: In the current scenario, it is a common practice at an amateur level to observe meteor showers through our naked eye. But many obstacles have been encountered while observing the meteor showers; such as bad weather and light conditions. In this paper, a cost-efficient method has been proposed to observe and analyze characteristics of meteor shower, based on the ‘forward scattering principle’. The proposed model has been tested and results have been presented in the paper.
