tbird Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 A couple of widefields from last night. I was trying to catch a Perseid but although I saw plenty, the camera missed them all. Both un-modded Canon 1100d with stock 18-55 lens at 18mm. ISO 800 Here's the Milky Way through Cygnus into Aquila. And here it is through Cassiopeia into Perseus with Andromeda to the right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MakkaPakka1 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Wow. Would love to get into taking photos of the cosmos, but the missus says 'house first' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbird Posted August 13, 2013 Author Share Posted August 13, 2013 Nice Paul and M31 and m33 in the second shot too, bonus. Yes, but I was out over 3 hours snapping away and don't think I got a single Perseid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldfruit Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Same here Paul. I did some on Fri and Sat night and got nothing. You was there on Sat and you know how long my camera was snapping away! Maybe next year, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawson Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 I was disappointed too not to capture more. I should have whacked the iso right up to 3200, they were just too fleeting to be detected. Next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Harper. Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Very nice Paul, I was in mid Wales, a fantastic location, you couldn't see your hand in front of your face, I got an incredible view and saw 9 fantastic and huge Perseid meteors.
