Good luck with your cosmic ray hunt. Sounds like fun. Should get some nice
results at that altitude. FYI, I made a video of a cloud chamber in action
back when I was teaching. It shows the tracks clearly, and appears to have
caught a few cosmic rays, even at this lower altitude.
Specific track types have been labeled, but I'm guessing you guys will have
no problem recognizing what you see. Download it here:

Best to right-click and save (it's 9 MB) rather than stream it to avoid
buffering problems. Enjoy, and happy hunting. -Dan Heim
