Its a funny little camera.
Hi Liz,
There was no tracking as it was mounted to a camera tripod.
I did 15 x 10 minute video blocks during that night, then i had to visually scan the video's in fast playback and noted any movements, all labour intensive!
Thats why the radiant sort of jumps around a bit, i was trying different positions of the camera through the night, most of them i concentrated on the radiant but a few i concentrated a little further out to try and get longer meteors.

I have a couple of other clips of sporadic meteors, one of the morning conjunction which included a meteor, and 3 clips of satellites including one iridium flare!
