Title: No meteor shower for us
Post by: Bolohead 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!

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
