Not super fresh but a couple images from Perseids shoot

I tried the 5D with a 10-17mm fisheye. worked out ok. This was totally a first attempt at anything like this. I need to read up and learn about stacking and all that.

I believe that first one to be an iridium satellite...still a nice shot of one! Undecided about you second capture, but great milky way!

second is an airplane

the second I know is a plane, the first might be an iridium but that thing was BRIGHT and it sat there glowing for a good bit afterward.

It looks like it could be either an Iridium satellite or a meteor from the photo, but if it glowed for a good bit afterward, I think it was a meteor. Iridium satellites don't appear moving fast enough to leave a glow...

I always wondered, does the glowing trail behind a bright meteor actually exist, or is it my retina being burned? (ha, I mean, is it an illusion from my eyes being accustomed to the darkness and then something bright flashing by).

The color, and direction of the first one tells me that it's an Iridium Flare, and the broken pattern of the second looks to be an aircraft. But still a nice fish-eye view of the Milky Way.

If you saw that first one as it happened, and it lasted about a second and left an afterglow then it was a meteor. If it lasted for 30 or 40 seconds and moved slowly then it was more likely an Iridium Flare. Either way, it's a lovely shot.

I agree completely, except I would say the Iridium flare itself is only 2-3 seconds, maybe 5 seconds. You can see the satellite moving before and after the flare for 30-40 s maybe. Based on the OP's description, I think it is a meteor. (About the color- that can change with WB.)

Nice looking images. What kind of fisheye do you have?

sorry, never answered the question. I used the Tokina 10-17mm fisheye. sadly it was the first time in about a year and a half that I had used it and i am gonna sell it.

First shot is fantastic!

I love the first one.

I got a lot of planes too. =)
