This collage is the result of a wonderful evening spent with my kids under a dark sky. It was also my first attempt at capturing a meteor shower.
We spent about 1.5 hours in the field, making ourselves comfortable. During that time, the mirrorless camera was running, taking 45 photos with 60-second exposure each. It was a very classic setup, using hand controllers without any PC or Raspberry Pi involved.
As on many occasions before, I used one of my legacy lenses. This time, it was the Olympus Zuiko OM 24mm again.
