#1 | B. Suddeth: "I actually caught this one by mistake, I had been trying to get a picture of the meteors for a while with no success so I decided to take a picture of the moon reflecting on the lake and I got lucky. It was taken with an Olympus digital camera set on ISO 400." |

#1 | B. Vaught: "This was the best meteor show I have ever seen,and proves that if you keep trying, you will eventually get your prize. They were clicking in at 10 to 15 at a time during the peak, which was around 5:30 AM EST, and continued through the new dawn. The Leonid's kicked the light pollution of Central Florida out the door!" |
