My Astrophotography Progress (in random order)

CCD vs Film? Lots of time vs no patience? Alright, this is your place to discuss all the astrophotography what's and what's not. You can discuss about techniques, accessories, cameras, whatever....just make sure you also post some nice photos here too!

dun think so. this was the 2nd meteor i shot. still looking for the 1st one but think meteor was outside d composition. if roughly traced back, seem to come from Libra direction.

sorry to off topic...APOD has a composite of some of the meteors...but quite sparse ..the prediction was too overhyped, leading some to nickname it as the "ISON of meteors"
I miss the place where stars shine bright, to gaze upwards in awe of the sight
