No meteor shower for us
« on: January 03, 2013, 12:19:48 PM »
Well I had hoped to catch the Quadrantis Meteor shower, but it clouded up leaving some moon light coming through.  This was taken at 3am, Canon 30D, Sigma 28mm wide angle with a 132 sec exposure.

Living up here in the NW Montana area, sometimes the beauty of the night sky is hidden by cloud cover  :Xo!

I'm always afraid that one of those dang things is going to hit us

Well as long as it isn't too big we won't have nothing to worry about but I do see your point in that
