| Description |
From 2:20am at the peak of the 2009 Leonid Meteor Shower. The radiant seems correct for Leo rising in the east. There is a rare amount of meteor detail in this shot. A particle streaks ahead of an awesome double afterglow and colorful train. ISO 1600, K20D with an old Super Takumar m42 50mm 1:1.4 open all the way for 6 seconds and continuous. I didn't crop or reframe the photo at all. The train even hung around for the <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/edsweeney/4112124528/in/set-72157622894962452/">the next exposure</a> that started over 6 seconds later. 50mm isn't that big a field. I was about to switch to a much wider but slower lens. Glad I didn't, it is like the thing is posing for the 50mm. A closeup of the afterglow is <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/edsweeney/4118056340/in/set-72157622724319715/">here</a>. A closeup of the persistent train as it was disintegrating over 6 seconds later is <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/edsweeney/4142404166/">here</a>. --- Explored Nov 17, 2009 #23 Seen on the <a href="http://blog.flickr.net/en/2010/01/02/your-best-shot-2009-starry-sky/" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Your Best Shot 2009 Starry Sky Flickr Blog entry</a>.
