I
first tried out a watec 902H and a 3.8 mm f/0.8 auto-iris lens 89 x
69 degree FOV lens on a tripod in desert camp of Jordan (1999). The
result was pretty interesting - at UT 02 hrs -just two hours before peak
then I recorded a total of 35+ Leonids in slightly half an hour. Encouraged
by the low light detectability of this simple set-up I repeated this year
November 19 Leonids in Bohyunsan Optical Astronomical Observatory,Korea
with a similar ccd and lens. This time the video was recorded using a
Digital 8 Sony video walkman GV-D800E running on 1-hour duration in LP
mode. Upon my return from Korea I spent some time watching and counting
the meteors in a high resolution b/w
