Here's a quick and silent timelapse of our activity!
On the night of July 29, we gathered at the pine tree locale with our friends Rolandos & Koulla to seek out supernova 2013DY in Lacerta. Our attempt was a success and we were treated with beautiful dark skies (best SQM reading was 20.89 at zenith) and a multitude of fireballs that seemed to be early Perseids! I set up the camera quite a few feet away to capture this but I seemed to have annoyed a critter who kept walking around the camera nervously but remained in stealth mode (good thing it didn't touch anything!). Here's a quick and silent timelapse of our activity!

It's that time of the year again! The Leonid meteor shower will be on display on the nights of 17-18 November! Unfortunately all but the brightest meteors will be obscured by the bright Moon and only those who will stay out until the early hours of the morning, after the Moon sets, will have a chance to witness up to 20-25 meteors per hour.
