Meteor Movies

HandyAvi was used to capture the images. HandyAvi's meteor dectection and capture mode does a good job of recognizing and capturing meteor trails so that the videos produced are small and contain only meteor trails. (And, unfortunately, airplane trails. HandyAvi provides editing tools that lets you select frames that you want to keep and discard any airplane trails...)

Geminids - Morning of 14 Dec 09 from back yard of my home in Tempe, AZ.
(3.5 Megabyte .wmv file.)

The above frame snippet (14 Dec 09 00:35:00.717) shows the break-up of one of the meteors into two parts. Pretty cloudy but many meteors shone through the clouds.

If meteors bore you, look for the cat walking on my roof. (Near lower left corner of the frames beginning at
01:32:01.)
