Greetings everyone. I haven't posted anything in a while, mainly because I haven't had anything to post until recently. On the 1st and 2nd of this month our club had a star party / campout at Courtright Reservoir, which is located east of Fresno at 8200' elevation in the Sierra Nevada. Cameras used were Olympus OM-1N with Fuji Provia 400 and Olympus OM-4T with Kodak Elitechrome 200. Lenses included 24 mm f/2.8 Zuiko and 50 mm f/1.4 Zuiko.

Here is a 4 hour 40 minute star trail with what appears to be an early Perseid meteor. Taken with the OM-4T and 24 mm lens.
