i bet you would love to catch something like this:

"would have appeared like a second sun streaking across the cold afternoon sky."

Great pictures, where did you do the imaging and is your camera guided during the exposure?

Hi kampang:

The same video set up with the meteor stuff - stacked images from the video avi files. Recording time is most half a minute - stacked using Registrax and no dark frame subtraction. The whole processing etc take less than 5 minutes

Hi:

Couldnt resist... the brightest part of the milkyway retake on 31 Aug around 10:30pm... This time using avi capture of a minute duration. [... anything longer Registrax will bomb out stacking > 1500 frames ..]

The dead pixels started to show through..

Nice detail in those images, yK. Great to see that dark nebulosity. Well done!

Go well!

Hello Jeremy:

Many thanks... Did you do Perseid watch over there?
S'pore is clouded out as usual...

Hello yK,
I did not take part in a specific watch, but I was observing that night for a few hours, also with some visitors. It was exceptionally clear and we saw quite a few Persieds, some of which we very bright.
Keep up the good work.
Go well!
Jeremy
