Hi, folks. I'll try to post a summary of analyses from world-wide observations of the Perseids this year, whenever they come out from IMO... 1997? :) >My video setup uses an F/2 lens of 5" focal length, so the field of view is >only 8 degrees, but it records down to magnitude 9. So it goes to 4 magnitudes >fainter than you could see; but it has only a very small fraction of the total >field of view visible to the naked eye. I was wondering, R. B., if you had found a lower limit to the meteor magnitudes your video setup picked up? I've always been curious how video and/or film and/or digital imaging compared to the human eye in terms of sampling fast moving faint objects (i.e., meteors :>)? Clear skies, Lew
