Good shot Adam. 63  seconds were not wasted.. Made a wish?

Hi Adam,

Meteor events (shooting stars) are not that common on any random night of pointing a camera to the sky. Unless there are known meteor events (called showers), few can be expected.

Your use of the 14mm F/2.8 was a good one. The 63 second exposure minimized any star motion due to the earth's rotation, too.

Now , had there been a very active meteor shower (say 60 per hour), then a decrease in the ISO would allow you to shot a longer exposure without over exposing the background. Then several meteors would be recorded. Of coarse, the stars would be slightly streaked, but that is fine if you have many events with different length meteors radiating  outwards.

The  background developed well in the exposure , too.

Perhaps I should hire you to do some meteor work for me at my observatory !

Good job.

Best Regards,  Mike
