I don't understand how the meteor trails work: it seems like
meteor trails last too long. Did they:
1. photograph many more frames than were displayed and edit
to keep more frames from the brief times when trails were visible.
or
2. the field of view is so many miles that trail of a meteor
moving at perhaps 30 miles/second stay in view long enough
to look like a moving object? How far apart timewise were
the displayed frames at about 2:38? I'm bad at estimating things
and can't decide how many degrees per second things seem to be
moving. I couldn't find a technical description of the shoot.


Beautiful! Thanks.
