Anyone shooting outside tonight?

A friend has a telescope attachment that lets his camera rotate with the earth so a 2 min exposure doesn't result in star trails. Wish i could borrow it!

So borrow it - he has to sleep sometime.

He's 3 time zones away.
:(

I went out and it was great. Very clear night, LOTS OF METEORS!!! Unfortunately they're too quick and not bright enough to be captured. 15 - 30 second exposures at F2.8 - F5.6 yielded great nighttime shots but no meteors.

Also, i just sold my 15mm and only had my medium wide so the amount of sky i could cover wasn't much.

A little tired today, a good night, just not a successful photography night.
:cool:
