While imaging Mars...

Las Vegas. I have been outside much of this evening trying to capture some images of Mars and have noted two big meteors, much larger than the 'common garden' variety. The first was to the north and travelling northwards, producing quite a few off-shoots.

The second was about 5 hours later and came from almost directly overhead, travelling southwest. Not as big as the first, but still an impressive sight and larger than normal.

Hopefully I will also get some worthwhile images of Mars as well!

Here is a first 'qucik and dirty' image from the session last night. No where near as good as most of the superb posts on this site, but I'm happy with it given my level of experiance.
