November 18th


I thought a convex mirror would give a good full-sky view of the Leonid meteor shower, but none of the pics I took showed any meteors...I think I had overestimated my exposure time. The picture above was taken by leaving the shutter open a couple minutes, and then Destiny set off the flash to illuminate ourselves for an instant.

The two of us, however, were very pleased with the Leonid meteor shower. Destiny counted close to thirty shooting stars in the half-hour we were out there, and I estimate there were at least three times as many. Too bad I didn't get any pictures, but Destiny won't soon forget the event.
