Re: Perseid Meteor Shower

Nice buzzard pics - the meteors are only visible at night and only recordedable in long [many seconds expoure] - I assume you mean that

Here's 20s test shot from last night via my wideangle C mount lens + SX Lodestar astro-cam centred on Draco overhead [Vega top left] presented in Bas-relief which highlights the stars and suppresses any haze or cloud. Stars, especially red ones, recorded to mag 7 much fainter than the eye can see even from very dark site. Obstruction top right/ dead CCD column left and some hot pixels [shadows reversed] via uncooled cam. Hope its of interest
