25 Leonids captured by the image intensified videosystem of Romke Schievink at station Dos Aguas, Valencia, Spain. The actual interval lasted for 13 minutes around 2 UT, november 17/18, 1999. This 13 minute interval is compressed into 18 seconds and 25 frames/second. Some meteors will almost not be recognisable because of the high compression rate. The two bright stars at top center are Casper and Pollux. The film is played back at twice the normal speed so meteors move twice as fast. The twinkling of the stars is caused by the strong winds during the recording.
