The above photo was taken by Osamu Okamura and processed by Teruaki Kumamori of the Nippon Meteor Society, Japan. His camera consists of a second gen. MCP
with an 1.4/24mm lens and a Sony video camera. He recorded the storm on a flight from Malaysia to England. Here all meteors recorded between 2:04 and 2:11 UT are
shown.
Note the radiant meteors. In this time exposure one can see the meteors fanning out from the upper left quadrant.
