This is a composite of 48 Leonid meteors collected with my allsky camera on the peak morning of November 17.
My report is at cloudbait.com/science/leonid2009.html

Could someone please explain what the small, oddly-shaped and oddly-colored (kinda like a purple Mexican sombrero) structure in the upper right-hand corner of the Nov 19/09 APOD might be? Thanks.
