(meteorobs) best camera for video observations

[Ernie Iverson]

For general meteor work at 30 fps I like the Watec 902 H2 Ultimate coupled 
with either an 6 or 8mm f/0.8 aspherical lens.  These lenses are getting 
harder to find and when you do find one they are rather pricy.  A fast lens, 
f/0.8, really makes a big difference in the stellar limiting magnitude.  If 
you want to save money on the camera then a PC164CEX-2 is just as sensitive, 
but has a smaller chip (1/3" vs 1/2").
