f/4, ISO-800, 77 sec, 18mm
This time I did not sleep right through the meteor showers.
There was no moon to be seen, It was a perfect night for loosing a little sleep for some meteor showers.
I got out there at about midnight and realized I had no idea what settings would be good for this. So I just winged it, I left the ISO at 800, aperture at f/4 from how it was set for earlier in the evening and put it on bulb and waited a while to see what would happen.

After yawning a few times and the wind whipping at my jacket I released the cable release and hoped I hadn't stepped on the tripod leg. I usually worry about that after I’ve already done it.

If it hadn’t been so cold I might have tried an even longer exposure for visible star trails.
Maybe Next time.
I have to go thaw my fingers.

What is the name of the meteor shower that you observed ?
ReplyDeleteI've only seen a meteor shower once ( Geminids ) in the mountains in Taiwan, an experience I will never forget.
I think they were the Orionid Meteor Showers, little bits of Halley's Comet raining down.
