Exploding Perseid Meteor

[Macavity]

Not sure of the "best" technique, but just left my "all sky" camera

(Watec 120N+ video camera) on FIVE second stack setting and

went through the videos by hand using Virtual Dub software!

The 2.6mm f/.0 Computar lens (Thanks Allan!) shows 120 deg.

The (processed) limiting magnitude is slightly better than naked

eye. I seemed to be getting about twenty meteors per hour?

By far the brightest was this one - Taken at about 03.40. Sadly

running into a certain amount of high cloud (dawn!). SW at top: 

The trail persisted into a second, third, fourth... frame.

So must have been around for a minimum of 10 sec? 

Quite a bang!

Sounds like a beauty!

Well, perhaps not "Tunguska" but a fairly rapid brightener?

Actually, come to think of it, South West is at the bottom...

That is a bright one, well done.

Very nice capture. So a couple of really bright ones last night.

Sweet fireball on that one !  Great job.
