To those who came from "Hekirision" (Milkyway Live)

As I told on the radio program, we couldn't see so many Leonid meteors in Japan. Therefor the CCD camera couldn't capture their images. However we could see some bright meteors and one of them left great trail.
I show you pictures that I took for people came from "Hekirision" here.

This in not so bright but you may see a line of a shooting star. Parallel lines are foxed stars which they're taken as lines due to the rotation of the earth.

A very bright fireball(bright shooting star) which was captured by NHK HiVision camera left its trail. It is red and spread amongst stars. This photograph was taken after a while when the fireball was seen. The color changed rapidly.
