Perseid from the New Forest

[Stainlesssteve]

Last night we went to the New Forest on a Perseid hunt as it's the darkest area around here. I setup my 6D2 to take 4k timelapse and got a great Perseid on the first frame, hour and half later and not another in the field of view! Still it only takes one to make me happy. This is the frame unedited.

How are you finding the 6D MKII?  I just chopped my 1D MKIII in for one at Castle Cameras.  Haven't used it yet tho but off to Tuscany for two weeks end of this month

The 4k timelapse has distracted me for doing much ordinary photography with it. High iso preformance has been improved, 6400 is now usable (never used higher than 3200 on the 6D) and the extra pixels are very welcome.
