WS832. Gloster Meteor NF14. RAF. Carlisle. 150407.

Out at a boat dock within Bald Mountain Recreation Area in Lake Orion, MI for the Lyrid Meteor shower. I setup on this dock and took photos for 2 hours in hopes of capturing a meteor within a star trails shot. Well the moon, which was close to full that night took most of those hopes away. I still ended up with a beautiful moonlit dock scene.

Living close to Chicago has its perks, but star-gazing is definitely not one of them. With so much of ambient light pollution, it is difficult to see any stars. Tools of trade – Dark Sky Finder – came to the rescue, in locating some decent dark skies @ Green River State Wildlife Area. The 2 hour drive made me realize how much impact light pollution has on the night skies. Anyways, couple nights back – everything fell in place – new moon, weekend, forecast for clear skies and not so cold nights – all came together. Clear Sky Chart is one other site that is quiet handy to plan trips like these …

Out at this location, the side roads, provide for some interesting composition - without being bothered by light trails of the vehicles. There are not many crazy folks who drive around at that hour ;-) It was an happy accident to have captured a meteor on this particular night. This probably was from Eta Meteor shower that peaked couple of days back.
