George,

My camera limiting magnitude is around +1 but I can tweek a video still 
image in photoshop and pull out dimmer stars.  The camera is really 
geared towards fireballs.  Also, my camera looks up through an acrylic 
dome that has aberrations and is not optimal for smaller meteors.  Also, 
my particular camera is set a little on the dark side and if I adjusted 
the camera I could get pick up more smaller meteors but getting inside 
the camera housing to access the camera settings is a very tedious task. 
A good thing about the system is that it can see 350 plus miles in all 
directions. The Flagstaff fireball that happened on April 26 or so was 
324 miles/ 521 km from my observatory and appeared at the edge on the 
camera horizon. -  Thomas Ashcraft
