Spent the hours between 11.oopm and 2.00am in a lounger looking at the sky, took a bunch of pictures and hoped to catch a couple of meteroites from the Perseides.Once I looked at the pictures this morning and turned up the brightness there were more there than I had seen with the naked eye! I saw about two dozen over the three hours and the sky was so clear it was amazing.
Improvised a tripod by sitting the camera on the
table facing up and using the laptop to control it to try and avoid shake, for the horizon shots the same table and a clothes peg as a lens prop gave the right angle to the sky.Hopefully looking at the pictures full size will show the meteorite trails.
the second picture has one at the top edge just left of centre coming diagonally down
Third picture is of star trails, two minute exposure to see the rotation of the earth.
the others you will just have to hunt the trails!
There are larger ones here - http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3280134&l=e9931ae11f&id=581406158
