Bright meteor (random, not a shower meteor) caught by accident on one frame of a 110-frame time-lapse animation of circumpolar star motion. Taken January 30, 2005, with Canon Digital Rebel camera, with 10-22mm lens at 10mm at f/3.5, 2 minute exposure at ISO400. Moonlight providing illumination (it had risen about a hour before). Cassiopeia at left, Big Dipper going out of frame at top right.
Geminid meteor caught Dec. 12, 2004 during Geminid metor shower, using Canon Digital Rebel set on tripiod (fixed camera) at ISO 800 and 1 minute exposure at f/2.8 with 16mm lens. Taken as part of 276-frame time-lapse sequence of Orion moving across south sky. Noise Ninja filtered and processed to make sky less green. Glow layer added to fuzz stars and meteor trail.
Panorama of northern spring sky, taken from home at latitude of +51° N, April 10, 2004. Taken with 35mm full-frame fish-eye lens on Pentax 6x7 camera, at f/5, Fujichrome 400F slide film, and 35 minute exposure. Glow layer added to emphasize bright stars. Jupiter is brghtest object, in Leo at centre right. Meteor at upper left is a bonus. Stars at top of frame are a bit sharper in this one, vs #3 pan but #3 taken later is better framed. #1 Pan was taken earlier and shows spring stuff rising in east -- #2 and #3 show stuff more due south. Zodiacal band faintly visible from Jupiter down to Spica as blue band.
