It's a pretty long show, about 40 minutes if I remember right. It opens with a consumer display a friend of ours does for us every year then we get down to business. The show proper is about 30-35 minutes long. I think you need a divx codec installed to watch it in wmp. A fellow pyro was good enough to rip it for me and compress it to a usable size.

The mine looked nice, but I couldn't see any green in there...the red must have drowned the green out.

Everything else you might need to know is in the video!

The comets which are falling to earth are firefly ones. The al might´ve not been the best choice.
At least you can´t see the firefly effect well on video. It was there anyway (a bit...)

Nice one's Mumbles! Also the whistle rocket that was fired in the last (8") vid made quite a noise ! Do you maybe know what compo was used for that whistle rocket?

[Mumbles]

I'm afraid I don't know the composition of the whistle rocket. I'd bare a guess that it's a long winded screamer though. These are usually the normal 76 Perchlorate, 23 Benzoate/Salicyliate, 1 part catalyst(CuOCl or Fe2O3 normally), 3 parts vaseline. The sound and effect is more a function of the tooling than the composition.

An excellent starmine Pipipi, that's one to be proud of.

I'm surprised by the lack of video's of homemade stuff fired on the fifth. Anyway, here's mine.

The night started off with a nice family bonfire:

Once the bonfire had died down a bit most of us drifted away from the houses onto a field for the Fireworks.

Here is a video of some of the small homemade stuff I fired on Nov 5th.

They were mainly recreations of old Standard and Brocks items, with a few innovations of my own!
