Leonids 2007
The Leonids this year have not been particulary exceptional compared to recent years. Here are a few movie specimens with forward scatter
sound recorded in stereo. In the radio spectrographs below the top half of the chart is 61.250 MHz and the bottom half is 83.250 MHz.
There are two video formats for viewing : Quicktime .mp4 and .divx. Hopefully you will be able to play or the other format on your computer.
More videos later! Out of time at the moment. Feel free to check back for better specimens and explanations later.
