I shall be in Mid Wales in the middle of nowhere tomorrow night so me and my sister are rounding the kids up and taking them out to look for meteors!

Wrapped up and heading outside

Beautiful night people

Not seen much and they're meant to be best between 9 and 11... (moon has come over the horizon now so its very bright quite nearby)

Tried taking pics though I don't think I got anything as my remote is knackered and so i'm stuck with 30s exposures which don't match well with my patience levels.

Hmm, probably too late for me then. May as well go outside and look though as it's supposed to be clouding over before the early morning show.

Well, I got a nice time-lapse of a cloud rolling in, but no meteors. Should have set the camera up a few hours earlier tbh.

Pheebs · 12-08-2009, 09:42

We saw a nice handful

One biggish one, the rest were fairly ickle! Fell asleep though after an hour or two and then woke up to a solid cloud sky

Was gutted! Picky decided to go in and considering there was zero chance of me seeing anything I followed rather sad

Hopefully the clouds will blow away and another night of sky watching can commence!

Surely with time lapse there would be little chance of capturing a meteor given that it flashes for maybe one or two tenths of a second...?

I would imagine he meant long exposure as time lapse requiring hooking up to a computer still in most cases as far as I remember, which would be a massive work up.
