Meteors Last Night
I have just scanned a few of the images taken last night. I have already
found 3 meteors. The night of the Leonids I found 4. All three were
coming from slightly north of east, with the telescope pointing near due
south at near zero declination. The trails were all short, 1/4 to 1
degree in length. They were all pretty faint. Just visible against the
background of a 60 second exposure in the burbs with the 100 mm f/4 optics.
Was there any known meteor shower last night?? Evening of 26 November, 2002.
