It was a nice night out wasn't it mate? I kept missing the meteors, but when I got home, I shut down the observatory, locked up, turned around and looked right at Orion. Right then I saw the HHHUUUUGGGEEEESSSSTTTT meteor I have ever seen! It slammed into the atmosphere traveling east, looked like it slowed down very quickly with the brakes on, leaving a massive sparkling trail behind it. I reckon it was in the sky for almost two full seconds before it disappeared.
It was fun having a look at the different lenses and their capacities on the 5D. I have been stuck with my 400D and 18-55 F/3.5 for such a long time now, it's good to gain some knowledge of other lenses in the field.
I'll post a similar 30 second pic from my lens at F/3.5 later for comparison.
Thanks for the invite mate. Last night was fun.
Baz.
