Description

Went to my dark site 35 min outside Orlando Florida and even tho forecast was great, had thick low hanging clouds so drove another 50 min to another dark spot near Kissimmee Praire and the clouds parted shortly before 11pm. Was hopefully for an outburst meteor shower but we only saw 5 around 5 brighter meteors and another dozen faint ones. Didn't even capture any at f/2.5 ISO5000 with my Irix 15 Firefly and 6Da : (

Lots to see here tho, this is about 25 min of data. Half is 30s exposures at ISO5000 trying to capture meteors and the other half 120s exposures at ISO1600 after I gave up.
