(meteorobs) Perseids - video data

[Chris Peterson]

With my video allsky camera, I caught 152 meteors last night, and 232 over 
the last four nights from central Colorado. There should have been more, but 
last night was the first completely cloud free night in a week. Many of the 
recorded meteors were fireballs. The events range in brightness from mag 1 
to mag -7. I detected a peak at UT 0945, and observed a falloff after that 
which seems to have occurred before morning twilight interfered.

A composite image, videos, and frequency information can be found at 
http://www.cloudbait.com/science/perseid2008.html . I just replaced my 
camera, and haven't astrometrically calibrated the new one yet, so my 
radiant detector isn't accurate. Therefore, I haven't filtered the 
non-Perseids from the data.
