While the web sites had various predictions of the peak of the Eta Aquariid meteor shower, the weather prediction was unambiguous: if I wanted to try to see them, before dawn Sunday May 5 was the time. So even though we had some light clouds overhead, I got up at 4:30 AM to try to catch some meteors. I saw one and maybe-saw four more. Happily, the camera caught one as well.
Camera geek info:
- Canon EOS 60D in manual mode set at f/4, 1 second exposure, ISO 6400
- Sigma 10-20 mm f/4-5.6 lens, set at 10 mm, manual focus
- Tripod
Nice!
Thanks! I didn’t publish the 1500 boring ones! 😉
That is spectacular photo!
Thanks! I think it may be the nicest meteor picture I’ve ever captured. 🙂
