(meteorobs) persieds photo??
During the persieds a couple of weeks ago I decided to set my
camera up and open the shutter for a while. I had thought I might have
gotten one rather nice meteor but when the film was developed I had nothing
but a bunch of stars streaking across my print. In playing around one
night I scanned in one of the prints and got blowing up areas of the print
and noticed one very small dim object that streaked a very short straight
line that didn't follow the stars path I double checked the print with a
magnifier and sure enough. I was just curious if this is and how many VERY
VERY short lived meteors they are. I mean in a 3 minute exposure in the
northern sky the stars streaked more then this did.
