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
Eta Aquarids May 5 Sets around 4 a.m.
Perseids August 12, morning/evening Rises around midnight
Orionids October 21, morning Near new Moon
Leonids night of November 17/18, morning New Moon
Geminids night of December 13/14 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.
