Draconids 2011 - Time lapse

Time lapse shot 08.10.2011 from 9PM to 8AM local time while on a work trip somewhere near Orenburg city in Russia, trying to capture the peak moment of Draconids meteor shower. Used a remote controlled Canon 7D with a 17-40mm f4.0 L lens, 1341 exposures of 15''/f4.0/ISO1000, 15'' pause between shots. I used an anti-dewer fanned heating resistor that kept the front lens clean during the night. Minor editing in Lightroom, movie in VirtualDub, compressed with DivX Converter. (As I was on a "work in progress" oil field, you can see in the movie some vehicles moving back and forth the lower part of the frame all night long. They are actually geological exploring trucks doing tests)
