I captured a Leonids picture last night! http://www.mikesastrophotos.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/leonoid.jpg
At the time I was focused on Procyon and shooting continuously and waiting and watching. I saw a meteor radiate directly out of Procyon and was like NO WAY! But I check the camera screen and couldn't see anything. I didn't realize I caught it until this morning when I was reviewing the pics. Its pretty faint, at the time my f ratio was jacked up at f/5. I've since lowered it and ordered a new lens that can do f/1.4. It was much brighter in person, its a little faint in the pic. Still really happy I caught it. For reference purposes: I was using a Canon 20D, piggy back mounted on my telescope with ISO 800, f/5 focal ratio and a 60 second exposure. ______________________________________________ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
