Subtitle: I went to Mt. Pleasant on Sunday August 13, 2017. This was the day after the peak of the annual Perseids meteor shower, but it was a clear night and I had been traveling for a week and wanted to sit and watch the stars. So I joined two friends up there, to watch for shooting stars and take some pictures. I saw a few meteors nad the camera found some too. DSC_0529: Basic shot, low exposure, not a ton of stars. There's a streak at the bottom center. I think this is actually NOT a meteor. DSC_0530: This shot was taken 12 seconds later. And the same streak is there. Since there's no color (red/white), I don't think it's a plane. My guess is that it's a satellite. DSC_0531: A more Cosmos-esque view of the stars. DSC_0533: A longer exposure with more stars present. There's a hint of Milky Way in the center as there seems to be a gradient of more stars. But hard to tell. DSC_0534: A basic star field. Might be good to use as a background elsewhere. DSC_0535: More "clouds" of stars are visible here. DSC_0537: And even more galactic clouds or maybe nebulas visible. I'm not sure if the yellow/orange light is natural or from light pollution on the horizon. DSC_0538: More of the same. DSC_0539: I believe a real meteor is visible in this one, towards the upper left, as a long thin line. DSC_0543: More star dust, though there's more noise in the image. DSC_0545: A kind of '80s-era Dr. Who opening picture. The motion on the stars is from camera vibration, since everything is moving in the same direction. DSC_0549: Around midnight, the moon (half full) began to rise. I liked the sort of impressionist way the clouds appear in the moonlight. DSC_0552: A better shot of the moon. There are some nice details visible at the edge of the shadow on the moon. In two weeks, it will produce the total solar eclipse across the US. But that's another story.
