Title: Failed meteor shoot
Post by: MattBurt on August 14, 2025, 01:50:31 pm

I spent the night in this valley trying to get some meteor photos Tuesday night. It was a nice calm evening and kind of chilly with the temps dipping into the 30s F. I saw a few bright meteors but they were out of the frame or between shots or otherwise not captured.
So here are some mostly non-meteor photos from the outing.

A stack of several hundred shots with some small meteors included but nothing all that impressive.

Smoky sunrise the next morning.

Even though it was a "failed" mission it was fun to do. I'll keep trying as I can...

Thanks! As it turns out I did get some meteors and was able to make a reasonable edit out of 5 of the best frames.
