Perseid Meteor Track 20120812 10:11UT
Perseid Meteor Track recorded 20120812 10:11UT from SLC, UT at a mag 2.0 light polluted urban location. One of 9 Perseid tracks seen between 9:30UT and 11:00UT. This was the only track that went through camera recorder. Camera was a Canon XSi at untracked 20 second exposure, ASA 800. Because of this recording technique, the relative visual apparent brightness of the meteor track, mag 0, and alf Per 1.8, is not represented accurately. The reverse bearing of the track points directly back at the predicted ephemeris position of the radiant. Two distinct filament peaks of where seen at approx. 9:45UT and 10:15UT.
