Thanks Rick! It was a surprise for me too. Many of the other brighter meteors I captured showed persistent trains too. If this bad weather keeps up, I'll have to post process them all...

Thanks Carlos. I'm hooked on meteors now

Cannot see the video atm - will try again later.

Thanks John! It's even easier to see the train as it moves against the sidereal motion of the stars in the video. Let me know if you have no luck watching it. Most modern web browsers can play it directly if you have a broadband internet connection, otherwise you might have to save it to disk and then use a video player such as VLC to play it.

Thanks Matt! I've just assembled one hour of time lapse frames of Gemini in the hour leading up to dawn... the sky's littered with satellites! Hopefully I'll be able to post it soon.
