I set up to watch the 2002 Leonids in the same place I'd watched in 2001, a construction yard several miles out on Ortega Highway.
This shot has a barely visible meteor a little above the horizon about 1/3 of the way from left edge. Look for a bright head and a very faint tail. |

Just caught the tail end of a meteor here in the bottom right quadrant of the photo, just left of the tree.
Exposure time here was probably 5 minutes, compared to the 10 or so in the shot above. |

You can barely make out a long meteor in the right 1/3 of the shot. Barely, but it is there :) |
 |
This one had a very short tail, but was bright.
It brought an "Ah" from the other folks (all two of them) that were at the same site. |
 |
Doh! Just missed a really bright one in this shot.
The moon was so bright it was tough to capture more than the very brightest. |
 |
This is the best shot of the bunch. Fairly short exposure time (~ 3 minutes) made the sky pretty black but also introduced some grain.
Ah well - it is still my favorite out of the bunch. |
