Eta Aquarids Meteor Shower 2016

Couple cool pictures from the recent Eta Aquarids meteor shower a couple weeks back taken from East Coast Australia. One is just an open exposure of the sky, and the second was lucky enough to catch one of the meteors. Enjoy :)


(For those who are overly interested in the tech details - Canon 450D, Iso 800, shutter open for ~60 seconds and RAW file, and thats about as technical as I get with my understanding of the camera :D )

Very nice. Thank you for sharing this with us! :)

You're welcome. 2:30am wake up isn't everyone's cup of tea, particularly when it is simply to sit outside in the 4C/40F night to stare at burning lumps of rock in the sky for 3 hours. :D

Thanks for sharing, I'm glad you saw some. It wouldn't have been even worse getting up at 2.30am and not seeing any :)

Nice pictures, thanks for sharing :)
