A light in the sky



I was unable to get out to catch the meteor shower on Thursday but from what I hear, in our location, it sounds like I didn't miss much. Friday night I headed out in hopes to maybe still have the chance to catch a meteor on film. I only saw four meteors and two of those were as I was setting the camera up. The other two fell in the opposite side of the sky I had the camera pointed at. I did however capture something in the night sky Friday night. I saw what I believed to be a satellite traveling through the southwest sky. I made a 30-second exposure as the object traveled high above the trees. While I may not have captured a meteor this time around and suffered from more mosquito bites than one would ever wish to, I did make a nice image of what I believe to be a satellite as well as the Big Dipper.
