Leonids meteor storm (*.mov, 66 MB)http://metaresearch.org/expeditions/past/storms/Leonids-fullscrn-download.wmv
From MetaResearch.org, an apparently pseudoscientific (but interesting) website:
H. John Wood acquired an excellent 2-hour video of the 19 November 2002 Leonids storm. The image tube was pointed toward the radiant, making most of the trails very short. Matthew Willson has extracted a 6-minute portion near the storm peak so that our web site visitors can get a sense of what this rare spectacle was like. The video is sped up by approximately a factor of three from real time. However, the field of view covers only about 10% of the sky. So the video extract shows only about 1/3 of the real-time meteor rates that an on-site observer might have seen under ideal viewing conditions.
