Welcome to my Astro-web site!  

t-70 camera array -close up of a '01 Leonids

   The year 2001, I  continued the chase for Leonids Meteor Storm  on top of the 1100 meter high Bohyunsan  Optical Observatory (BOO) in  South  Korea.  Knowing this is probably my last leonids with the absence of moon I dragged a total of 60 kg (132 lbs) of equipments ( 6-camera array, 8mm lens, 15mm lens, a series of watec-Hi-8 cameras, tripods, get batteries...)  to Korea.

(Top) 'Green-Yellow-Red' Leonid sliced  through Orion. Caught by one of the six T-70 camera array in '01 Asia Storm. Note the different stellar colors. Did you notice  a space  intruder in the  foto above ( hint: short dash-line)?
(Below - 8mm fisheye cropped view). Two 'chasing' leonids at 3 o'clock position.

Milky way flowed diagonally  across the night sky. Polaris stood still  above the 1.6m reflector with drawn shutter. Ursa Major tailed down on its right. A pair of chasing leonids exuded not far from Sickle. Pegasus square and its 'handle' appears a giant Dipper.  Cassiopeia turn  upside down and looked  Big 'M'- Mac. The hunter stood on its head. - Bohyunsan Observatory Korea Lat 36d9m,Long +128,58m
