Eta Aquarid

Eta Aquarid
I took several long exposure shots of the night sky during the peak of the Eta Aquarids meteor shower, which happens every year around this time, thanks to the debris from Halley's Comet.

Though I didn't see a single meteor with my naked (or bespectacled!) eyes that night, my camera's sensor caught many, often two or three in a single exposure. This one showed the longest meteor trail.

Make a wish!

Amazing! What a gorgeous starry sky with that lovely meteor trail and the moon (or sun rising?) just enough to cast light on the water. Excellent long exposure work.
