A few nights back I took hundreds of photos of the night sky in hopes of getting some good meteor photos; I only caught a single meteor, and it was pretty pitiful (especially compared to the ones I’d seen with the naked eye that crossed ~120 degrees of sky). But the location was interesting… actually pretty close to the Andromeda galaxy. Something the size of a grain of sand flaring briefly into incandescence, and for a fraction of a second outshining a hundred billion mighty suns.
A pity that the sky was, thanks to dust and smoke and the lighting from the urban metropolis of Tremonton, Utah, such a horrible color.
