Dozens of the brightest Leonid meteors are captured in this 72 minute composite made from eight 9-minute exposures using a 16mm full frame fisheye lens. To the lower right, the meteor shower radiates from the sickle shaped string of stars in Leo. Orion (center left) appears upside down in this southern hemisphere image with the 'winter' Milky Way. Note the two bolides in Taurus (center left) and near the Large Magellanic Cloud (top right). Nov 19 2001.
