Re: [APML] Leonids Composite

["Stan Richard" <stanrichard@hotmail.com>]

Matt, looks like you caught the best of it, a nice composite, neat seeing 
the meteors streaking in all directions from the radiant.  This image looks 
alot like what I saw for about a 5 second period Tues morn.  After receiving 
my film back today it looks like I
might try a 7 image composite when I return home.  Thanks.
