Since the foundation of the Dutch Meteor Society in 1979 a photographic
network, consisting of
several stations using batteries of 35 mm cameras is operated during the
periods of activity of major
streams. In the early years f4.5/75mm Lubitel cameras were used, but
nowadays batteries of Canon
T-70 cameras equipped with high quality FD f/1.8-50 mm optics are in use
at nearly all stations. The
larger stations (four at present) use about 20 of these cameras,
covering almost the entire sky visible
from the observational site. Between 1980 and 1995, 998 meteors were
photographed multistation.
All photographic records have been measured and reduced.

Robert,
I think you might have gotten "batteries" in reference to the power sources
for camera's and watches etc confused with "batteries of camera's" or groups
of camera's used in your photographic network. Still what you posted was
interesting by itself.
