Hi all,
Well this was the only meteor I could capture during the Orionid Meteor shower :( Had to process this a bit to get it to show up enough, draw back from not having a fast lens... I am kicking myself as I could have used my old 50mm f1.8 for this one, since it was in the middle of the frame, even though this image is cropped a little.
12 frames stacked then meteor frame stacked in Photoshop. Did this to reduce background noise. Canon 400D, Canon 17-40mm f4L USM lens, ISO800 1m 30s exp. Tracking via Orion Teletrack (yes you do notice the field rotation)
Thought I better add that this is not of an Orionid Meteor, but a sporadic meteor which just happened to look like it came from Orion, the Meteor travelled Left to right in the frame....
