While not up to Chris Petersen's level, here are images of two Leonids that I captured in 2 hours of recording at Little Mtn last night (with meteor recording setup detail): http://www.slas.us/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=2677 For DSLR owners, I believe a setup similar to mine can be easily implemented using a Canon Digital Rebel. Over 2.5 hours, 14 Leonids were visually observed between mags 3.5 and -1.0. 2 were photographically captured. Missed captures tracked lower below 40 degs alt - which is not picked up by my setup.
