This is a bit enhanced, but shows some of the Perseid meteors we saw last night. (The streaks on the right). Most were faint, although we saw some that lit up and left a trail in the sky. This is a 30 second exposure, with an 18mm lens. I’m a bit disappointed in the focus, but that could simply be atmospheric noise. (Or else my lens’s infinity isn’t infinity.) I’ve stretched the contrast and brightness as 30s is more than enough to overexpose the image.

A mild-mannered professor of computer science in real-life, I remove my glasses in the evening to become, well, a mild-mannered author in my alternate reality.
I mostly write sweet romantic fiction, although with an occasional science-fiction or paranormal angle thrown in. I have interests in history, mathematics (D'oh), and cryptography. I'm also something of an Anglophile, and know that country pretty well.
In addition to writing, research, and more writing, I volunteer with the scouts. I'm something of a nature-nut, enjoying long walks in the country with almost ultra-light gear, boating, and identifying wildlife.
