Orionids
Posted in 5DMII, Long exposures, sky on October 22, 2011 by budbranchMy daughter Elise reminded me Friday morning that the Orionids were going to peak early Saturday morning. After checking the weather and noting that skies were forecast to be mostly clear, I decided to capture some meteor images. I set my camera up around 9PM and left it shooting 30 second exposures continuously – the battery died around 1AM – I got 440 images. This first composite merged 50 or so images, and includes more aircraft trails than meteors…
GIN is my new favorite brand…. :-)
