Perseid 2004 Images

Some images captured of Perseids in 2004.

By Alex Pratt
A Mintron video camera with 12mm f/1.2 C-mount lens was used to capture this Perseid meteor during a video meteor watch on August 13/14. It appeared at 22:34:09 UT and the video shows the full trail of the meteor as it passed to the West of Delphinus. It is visible on 19 frames, which means that its duration was 19 x 0,04 sec = 0.76 sec.
