Quadrantid Meteor Shower Peaks January 3rd, 2012
The Quadrantids are an easily visible January meteor shower. The peak intensity is exceedingly sharp: the meteor rates exceed one-half of their highest value for only about 8 hours. This means that the stream of particles that produces this shower is narrow - and apparently deriving from and within the last 500-years from some orbiting body. The parent body of the Quadrantids was recently tentatively identified as the minor planet 2003 EH1, which in turn may be the same object as the comet C/1490 Y1 which was observed by Chinese, Japanese and Korean astronomers 500 years ago. The radiant of this shower is an area inside the constellation Boötes. The name comes from Quadrans Muralis, an obsolete constellation that is now part of Boötes. It lies between the end of the handle of the Big Dipper and the quadrilateral of stars marking the head of the constellation Draco.

Pretty cool time-lapse, but you can't see most of the meteors due to the frame rate is way to fast. Most of the streaks are jet trails. In order to see the meteors, you would have to set your frame rate at no faster then 1 frame per second. I got about four of them an created a short time-lapse of it. Check it out on my channel when you get time. Cool vid though!!!
