Meteor again...
Freaky - after ~35 years of astronomy I got my first ever meteor photo
last Monday. Then, yesterday evening (Tuesday), quite by accident, I got my second! Just like buses! http://www.digitalsky.org.uk/meteors/meteor-2.jpg -- Pete http://www.digitalsky.org.uk Home of the Lunar Parallax Demonstration Project |

It was a corking meteor and had I been trying for it with the appropriate exposures, I'm sure there would have been more detail available. Of course, if I had been trying for it... I wouldn't have got it! -- Pete http://www.digitalsky.org.uk |

You lucky *&%^%&^%&^%*%&^%)(*^(&^$^$#%$#^#^%$#^%$ Now, now! I would feel the same though if it weren't me ;-) The most important point to learn from the pictures, from a personal perspective, is that I can actually capture meteor with a DSLR. Although I knew it was possible, previous failures were introducing doubt! -- Pete http://www.digitalsky.org.uk |

It certainly is Paul. I have renewed optimism about the Geminids now - unless the weather says differently of course! -- Pete http://www.digitalsky.org.uk |
