Images were recorded with the AMS intensified camera described at 
http://www.amsmeteors.org/video2007.html

Data was obtained from these images using the IMO's MetRec program.

Note: It's good to see that even the unblinking/untiring video camera has 
peaks and valleys throughout the night, especially prevalent on May 8, when 
activity dropped by one-half during the second hour. If this was a visual 
observer one would think that they became fatigued during this period!

Clear Skies,
