THIS JUST IN FROM THE FIELD:
Gemind meteor shower last night. Nothin' to do, so I decided to freeze my ass off in 30°F weather for a while.
The short: Got out there for about an hour and a half around midnight, saw 29 meteors, 3 earthgrazers, and 2 nice "fireball" types that left wide streaks on the sky. Number caught on camera? Zero. Boy do I need that fisheye lens. FRIGGIN COLD. Fortunately I have a bad-ass sleeping bag that's rated to at least 20 degrees. Having a remote shutter release to hit from *inside* the sleeping bag would have been nice, though. ;^>
Some people actually got pictures. Me=jealous.
