Not all memories need to be set by equipment. I drove up to the mountains to watch the quadrantids once. Brought the gear. Got great shots. One burst so low I heard it. Took the film into the lab, waited three days, heard nothing, dropped in, was told "yeah, big bummer, notjing exposed." I asked to see my film. They pulled it out of the garbage. And there, on the light table, exposures ruined by uncleaned developer, were all my meteor shots. But since it wasn't puppies or some shit, their tech had decided it was garbage. Never went back. They went under. But that night? The night of the meteor I heard? The meteor I smelled? It's become ruined streaks pulled out of the garbage in my memory.
