(meteorobs) 2001 Perseids, 2000 Leonids
Dear friends,
I finally put a dozen of images both from 2001 perseids and 2000 Leonids on
my page ...
2001'sPerseids photos can be found at this direct URL.

They were taken with 24 or 50 mm lens and 400 iso film.
As I told in a previous mail, on the august 12-13 night, there was a -5
bolid leaving a persistant trail visible for about 12 min.
Enough time to catch 2 photos with a 50 mm lens and another one with a 200
mm lens.
I add an amazing photo with a rater faint sporadic and ..surprise ! Please
look at the last photo at the bottom of the page.
2000's Leonids photos can be found here :

As you remember, there was an gibbous moon, very hard to take good photos in
this conditions due to the clear sky ...
But I tried to "wash" the images taken that night using some trips found in
the S&T september issue "Fixing vignetting in astrophoto". Unfortunately,
the Leonids were not as bright as expected and only faint leonids were
recorded ; but the results are quite impressive as you can see, 'cause after
processing one can't find almost no trace of the initial background light
...
I tought this method can be used with success for some difficult photos.
Maybe for next year leonids with full moon ...
