Halley's Comet's bits, 20th August

Using my setup of the Canon EOS 600D, a 24mm f/1.4 lens and the Magic Lantern firmware I had a go at catching some Orionids in Brisbane on the night of 20-21st August. I captured 3 meteors, where one was definitely a piece of Halley (fast, green trail, coming from Orion), one wasn't, and a bright 25 degree long streak (attached) which appeared to be from the direction of Orion but it seemed a little slow to be an Orionid? In the attached image, Procyon is at top left.

Anyway, here's a link to the video. Recorded and replayed at 4 frames/sec:

Thanks for looking,

Tom
