Modern science has a solution for that it's called DEET.

Thanks
It was a fun night. The next day when the mosquito bites started
itching was a lot less fun.

I haven't done my final selection of the best few, and won't have
the time for a while, but here are my photos from last week.
For people who don't want to wade through galleries, here is one
with the track, the milkyway and a meteor:

Some of these have meteor trails, some are just nightscapes of the
racetrack.

Commments, critiques and helpful hints appreciated.

There is a lot to learn about photographing the track at night, such
as how much moon you want in the sky, how to stitch panoramas, which
lenses to use etc. On the K-1, every lens seems to show some
vignetting, which will screw up panorama stitches. Using the profile
for the 15-30 will correct that problem. Unfortunately, they don't
seem to have a profile for the rokinon 24/1.4 and I haven't figured
one out, so my longer/faster lens, which really needs to be
stitched, is one that I can't yet stitch with.
These photos were an experiment in trying to show students where to
look, how to look through where you want to be, to where you want to
go:

I posted these links earlier, but just to keep everything together.
These are pretty much all my photos that (I think) have meteor
trails in them, selected only on whether I caught a meteor:

These don't actually show the track, I was just experimenting with
the astrotracer feature on my camera to photograph the milky way
