A meteor captured through the all-sky camera on 12/25/11 @ 0512CST going though Ursa Major (Big Dipper)

Milkyway in my backyard on the 4th of July (Scratched lens).

(Update) Just learned how to fix this lens flare. Just use a black sharpie to fill in the scratches, and wipe away the excess before it dries.
Supposedly this will work, if not, this lens is going to take a trip to the lens doctor.

(Update) Lens was beyond repair, the marker didnt work too well at all. The lens is a paper weight and I now have a new 16mm Zenitar

Star trails 16mm Zenitar attached to a Canon 40D.
Exposure: 72mins 200ISO @ f.8. 2 stacked exposures

Better results of the milkyway this morning due to better transparency amdvery minimal air-glow. Time for bed!

I had the chance to photograph comet Garradd after the clouds cleared out on the morning of 9/4/11. This is a first time visitor comet to our solar system that we know of, or that has been documented.
Charcteristics are unpredictable so far, and a flare up might occure. So far, its just a little guy. WIll see in the coming months
