Re: (meteorobs) video the Leonids



Hi all,

I tried successfully, in 2000 in Provence, and 2001 in South Korea with a
Sony TRV 15. I used supernightshot, and got about 40 LEO in 2000 and
probably 300 down to magnitude +2 in 2001. The field is quite good (about
35x40° If I remember). With super nightshot you will got stars to mag +5 ou
+6 and 3 frames/sec. With night shot only, you will lose 2 magnitude but
will have 25 frames/sec.

Good luck.
Christophe
