One of my shots from last night. Sadly no Perseids in this pic although I did manage to capture a few faint ones during the evening. Still had a good night though, meteor watching with a mate and a few beers. Nice...

That's a great shot....sounds like a great night you had.

What camera settings did you use for this shot?

Your welcome Eddy.

The green light is from the dew zapper fixed to the accessory tray and the trees are picking up light from street lights and a neighbour's garden light. The garden light isn't a big deal because it clicks off after a few minutes. I guess hedgehogs or roaming cats set it off.

Your friend stood still for the full 30 seconds looking at the stars???.....I hope you thanked him.
