    No meteors but I did get this as a bonus

    Moonrise over the house, with the camera pointing NE. This was a frame from a time lapse (13 seconds, f/2.8, ISO 1600, 12mm using a 12-40 Pro on the OM-1). The clouds arrived and spoiled my quest for Orionids - and later, the lens misted over!

    But this is nice...

    And pointing in almost exactly the opposite direction, our old friend...

    OM-1, 50-200 SWD, @76mm, ISO 6400, 8 seconds exposure, f/3.1 ( I should have used the 40-150 Pro f/2.8 (or 35-100 f/2), but I was hoping to get the comet at 200mm

    It was sinking fast and from my vantage point in the garden, the cables were unavoidable. This image is uncropped.

      Lovely starry nights you have Ian. Here, in Wales, the cloud god sends them over just as you are setting up...

        It was like this before the clouds rolled in - would have been perfect if a meteor had appeared...

          The joys of living in the countryside. Where I live in Frankfurt we're lucky to see a full moon through all the light pollution caused by the Airport, an oil storage area and a chemical factory complex all near by.

            Excellent shots. Your efforts to set it up paid off.

              Very nice Ian, 200mm looks like a good focal length for the comet. Love the clouds shot, maybe not what you wanted but it's worked out well.

                We had a very clear sky last night, but after an 80-shot sequence at 13 seconds a pop, no meteors only planes and, what I think must be a satellite? I also stupidly ddn't chec the aperture setting, which was 3.5 instead of 2.8 (ISO 3200, 12-40 Pro @12mm, starry sky AF).

                  I really like the first one. Very moody.

                    Nice shots, I really like the first shot with the clouds like that.

                    I wish we had clear skies like you have over here! We have a holiday in Suffolk in December, I'm hoping for clear skies there.
