A night of Leonids and other meteors

[Rick]

Meteors recorded by my Global Meteor Network camera on the night of 18th-19th November 2022. Preliminary analysis identified 27 Leonids, 8 alpha Monocerotids, 6 Northern Taurids, 6 November theta Aurigids, 3 November Orionids, 2 Andromedids, 2 Omicron Eridanids and 33 sporadics.

There would very likely have been many more Leonids (particularly) had the sky been a bit clearer in the middle of the night.

If you noticed that the list above doesn't add up to 91 but the image claims "91 Confirmed", well, that's because some of the meteors went over two frames, and the 91 is a count of the number of frames that went into the stack.
