Leonids captured with an STV using an 8 mm f/1.3 video camera lens (C-mount).  The STV head was
fixed on a tripod and pointed at the big dipper.  The STV was operating in continuous update mode,

normal zoom, 2X gain, dark subtract on, exposure time of 10 seconds.  Whenever a frame contained
a meteor it was saved.  This series contains 10 frames spanning about 5 minutes.
