Before they sent us to Iraq, we had to treat all of our uniforms with a
Permethrin solution.
About half-way through our deployment they issued additional Permethrin
solution kits & had us treat our uniforms again.
REI has a good, STRONG insect repellent made from Lemon Eucalyptus that
works pretty good. I move away from my cameras downwind before applying it.

You really don't want Deet anywhere near your camera/lens - it will
really mess up the labeling and plastic parts.

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
