I was thinking go out at 2am and do a 1 hour sequence of shots... at least I might come home with a cool star trail shot. I wish I still lived outside of town a bit. Erik

It's slightly cloudy which is aggravating, hopefully it will clear up a bit Canon 60D-not gripped, a couple lenses, a couple bags, a flash and my trigger finger

CameraMan Cream of the Crop More info | Jan 04, 2012 05:49 | #8 I was up until 4:30 and saw nothing. Possibly too many street/yard lights by me. Oh well. Photographer

Maaaaaaaaaayyyyy have got one faint streak after going through them this AM. Was hard for me to aim at Bootes due to a house peak/satellite dish so I just picked a spot in the sky nearby. Canon 70d, 450d

Jan 06, 2012 12:34 | #12 Nice shot! Yeah, no way could I get up for it. I go to bed at 9:30, so staying up was out. Woke up to 9*F with a nasty 25mph wind! Maybe in summer? photos
