Eta Aquarids Video

Hi all,
Just putting the link up to my Eta Aquarids video from this year, this is best viewed in a dark room, all i used was a Watec 902H camera and 16mm f/1.4 Auto-Iris lens mounted to a tripod. The video was put together in Windows Movie Maker.

**New link to longer version

Wonderful stuff Chris.
So ...... was there tracking involved, or did Windows MovieMaker stitch the ?30 sec frames together? Oops, no, you said it was a video, so must have tracking??
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!
