Bert, I dont know if you have tried this 'free to amateurs' dos only program for automating their detection, classification ad summary in video captures, or if it has been mentioned here before? - but could possibly save some effort? not that I have any experience in this area.
quote from webpage:
'MetRec computes the equatorial coordinates of its position in the individual video frames, derives a mean meteor trail, and calculates the velocity and brightness of the meteor. The software checks whether it belonged to one of the showers from IMO's working list. Finally a logfile entry, a sum image of the meteor, a short animation, and a PosDat file entry can be generated and saved.'
All the 'all sky' stations seem to use it from what i read.

I know Joe Rao from space.com keeps requesting images from this remarkable shower over on meteorobs mailing list.
meteorobs mailing list is really meteor central for the globe, all the pro's are there, as well as us amateurs, NASA people, you name 'em they watch that space very closely.

I am positive that some on the list would love to see those animations and/or data/counts, but I understand if something is just for the joy or fun of it and sharing and inspiring others too, no pressure.
don't be put off by the old fashioned format of the forum, they also kinda have a, now defunct, yahoo groups mirror site too.
I just get individual emails from there, love it!
Look forward to your future postings
