Equipment

Canon 20Da, 23mm focal length, ISO 3200, 10 second exposure @ f/4 on a tripod.

Looking over Lake Tahoe above Incline Village with the Moon and Jupiter close together. A thin fog was beginning to form over the lake. The Geminids were sparse and this was an easy target.

Equipment

Nikon Coolpix 4800 4mp w/8.3x Optical Zoom

Description

I spotted this on 12-09 @ 5:44pm, west of Rome Ga Agonizing over a site to view it, I was delayed for a few minutes. At first view it was very distinct, 5 min later was totally gone. You can see 6 dark streaks at ground level in line with the train which I think are debris strikes. In the largest shot, the front shows streaks that looks like debris ejection. I assume this was a Geminids but may have just been a stray. It appeared to explode over the Alabama line, I called a friend to see if he heard a sonic boom but he did not.

Description

The nebula itself is known as IC 410, and is home to a pair of intriguing structures commonly known as the "tadpoles." These are made of gas and dust left over from the formation of the cluster, and are likely forming new stars within them. It is found in the Constellation Auriga 12000 light years away.

NASA just released this image taken by Astronaut Wheelock (Nov.17th) when they were passing over the western side of the island (Puerto Rico) and just happens that I was imaging them at the same time. I was taken my first light with the new camera for this set-up but unfortunately it was the shadow side of the station (sunset) the image was rotated sun side lit at right ( original left).
