Stayed out from 1 am til 5 photographing...or trying too photograph shooting stars.
Out of over 100 pics I took focused on only the milkyway, I only got three pics. This was the best one.

Wow. Very interesting - I have a lot to learn. Fisheye - I would have never guessed. I'm assuming a digital camera, so at iso 3200 are you using any in-camera noise reduction or is that a RAW and post processed??? |

ilikelegs-
Thanks for that info, it was very informative. I like pictures of that style. The Canon 5D is a bit outside my pay grade, I just bought a D80 and with proper lenses and experience, I hope to be able to capture pics similar to the one you just posted. Again, thanks.....

Cool shot !
I need to take a long exposure of the sky in my area. I can see the milky way with my naked eye but I can't discern it like the photograph... |

Whats funny about this shot is I never saw the fainter meteor when I took the pic.
I saw the brighter one. When I got home and went throught all of the images I was very happy to see two of them in one shot. Surprised I even saw this one. Each shot took 20 to 30 seconds...then another 20 to 30 seconds to write to the card before I could take another one. After so many hours of this. I was just sitting looking at other parts of the sky and would walk over to the camera and hit the cable release to take another. Sometimes as I was waiting on the card to write, a meteor would shoot across where I was set up. I was so pissed off when this would happen. Happened several times.

you need to get the Canon TC-80N3 intervalometer. You could have shot 30 sec exposures and slept all night.  let me know then next time you're going to be doing this....I have a few that I could spare for a few days |
