Subject: Leonid capture


I was out all night last night and ran my DMK21AF04 with a security lens attached and mounted on a tripod.  I had a long cable which allowed me to stay inside where it was warm.  I took 720 frame movies using AstroIIDC and 10 sec exposures.


I also had my EOS 450D setup on a tripod with an 18mm lens and being driven by Nebulosity using 30 second exposures. I havent had a chance to scan them yet.


This is the best frame I got of the Leonids.  It is headed right through Gemini headed for Orion.  On first look through, it appears I did get a few others as well but none as good as this.  The time on this is UTC, so subtract 6 hours for CST, my local time.
