I've been bitten by the bug to take long exposures of the night sky. Blame this on Terrence Dickinson, our locally famous astronomer, who gave a talk to our photo club this spring. Prompted by events like the Perseids meteor shower (cloudy that night, grrr!) and the lunar eclipse on August 28th, I decided to try out some of his suggestions. There's been a few late nights since then, with some moderate photographic successes.
