[APML] The Kolb Fireball?

["Chris & Jennifer Cook" <ccjd@ix.netcom.com>]

Hi all -
I've posted three new images from the Leonids outing a few weeks ago.
I'm wondering if the fireball I caught in the one image is the same one Jon
caught in Auriga?...Although mine is more into Perseus.  If this is the same
monster, the different lat and long of my site would cause the slight shift
I would think?
Also, I was pleasantly surprised to find I caught a six pack of Leonids in
the wide field Leo/radiant star trail image.  Also, the Fuji Press 800 did a
pretty good job...except look at M42 in the wide field image...no red
recorded....we already knew that though...right Jon....

The thin high clouds we had passing through created some funky variations in
the sky background...especially in the radiant image.

Hope you enjoy them!
Comments always welcome.
