Time-Lapse of Leonid Meteor Shower 2009

Video by Dave Kodama, Orange County Astronomers.

Given that this video was taken from very dark skies, it is evident what I meant earlier when I said that the term "shower" is a bit of a misnomer. Definitely note that the streaks which can be seen early in the video are from airplanes. Meteors are visible later in the evening after the constellation Leo begins to rise, about halfway through the video.
