MY wife and I stayed up for a while last night. Saw quite a few. Even from my back yard. As long as you knew where to look you must have had a good show up there.

Alright, here are the 4 that I like from last night. A little bummed that I didn't capture any meteors, but at least I got some successful star trail shots. The longest exposure of mine was 9 minutes 7 seconds. I want to go back on a moonless night and do some even longer ones!

315 seconds (5m 15s)


538 seconds (8m 58s)


459 seconds (7m 39s)


547 seconds (9m 7s)


I took a total of 21 shots, and used 36% of the battery

Quadrantids January 3, morning First quarter
Lyrids night of April 21/22 near new Moon

Next one is in October, I'm not sure how it'll compare to this morning's as I'm not an astronomy buff.

Dude, next time lets bring my 10" telescope (which weighs around 200lbs). It gathers a RIDICULOUS amount of light and you will get some AMAZING shots. A 5 min exposure would be equivalent to a 4 hour exposure with just a regular camera, and maybe even more.

I cant set it up myself due to its size, so I need some help. It barely fits in my car when it's taken apart. It's no joke! All you need is a 35mm lens and I have the T adapter to fit your camera to the eye piece.
