Cosmic Challenge

[Chauncey Walden <CLWalden@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm sure you have all heard about this year's (Nov. 16-17) Leonid meteor
shower possibly being a really big show (where have I heard that?) with
up to 50,000 meteors per hour being visible under optimum conditions
between midnight and dawn. Now, the $64,000 dollar question (I'm dating
myself here), how much of a stereo base would it take to get separation
between the meteors at, say, 25 to 50 miles distance and the stars at,
well, infinity. Maybe Joel and I could coordinate some time exposures
for a little hyper.
