Subject: Re: Shooting shooting stars
We went back last night. Most of my shooting was from setting up my
Sigma 20/1.7 vertical, and shooting a 360 degree panorama. My very
first shot after setting up and focusing my camera:

I eventually ran into issues with the lens fogging up and had to clean
it a few times.
Just a few minutes later:

A panorama of the two:

I caught one in the milky way:

And shortly before I left, another in the milky way using my 8mm fisheye:

I really wish that Lightroom let me select areas of individual frames
that I specifically do (or do not) want in a panorama, but here are
some more panos that I've stitched in lightroom:

I'm adding everything of any interest to this flickr album:

Including the panos in the previous album.

It seems as if the Perseids will be in full swing this week. Does anyone
have any advice borne of experience for photographing them?
I suspect that a lot of short exposures will have the advantage of
running at a higher ISO and making it easier to capture a dimmer
transient event. Then there is the question of darkfield frames.
Astrotracer or not? Optimal focal length?
