perseid meteor shower
drove about an hour east of austin to shoot the meteors
saw a decent number but of course they were where the camera wasnt looking 
managed to get photos of just a couple before i switch to my fisheye to get a 180 degree view. then i got lucky and caught a fireball bright enough to leave a smoke trail
no meteors in this shot but i thought it was cool with the andromeda galaxy near the top and the pleiades emerging from teh sky glow
same photo edited as a painting
fisheye view with the fireball
