PhotographerMichael HutsonLocationKauai near the city of LihueDateFeb 15, 2007 11pmEquipmentCanon EOS 20D, 18mm Tamron LensDescriptionI pointed my tripod mounted camera near the star Sirus and framed the shot such that I captured two palm trees in the foreground. I could see Orion appearing to the upper right. The exposure was long enough to register many stars and Orion, as well as show some detail in the palm trees; but was short enough to minimize any star trail effect. |

PhotographerRobert HortonLocationNew MexicoDateNovember, 1998Equipment35mm camera, mounted on a tracking platform.DescriptionThese two images were taken during the wonderful Leonid meteor storm of 1998. The first image captures a brilliant bolide as it explodes in the atmosphere. The flash of the meteor was as bright as the full moon. The second exposure was begun immediately following, capturing the ghostly cloud of debris left over from the meteor. That cloud persisted for over 30 minutes. Both images are 15 minute long exposures, guided using a small equatorial mount. |
